Dr. Phil Season 21 Episode 107 Kids and ADHD Meds: Too Much Too Soon? 2022

School nurses administer more daily medication for ADHD than any other chronic health condition. In December 2022, the Drug Enforcement Agency warned that over prescription of ADHD medication could be as bad as the opioid crisis. Is medicating children for ADHD a troubling trend or an appropriate response? Megan says her 7-year-old son has always been a handful, and when she finally made an appointment to discuss this with his physician last summer, the recommendation was medication. Hear why she says she’s worried and blames herself for his behavior. Then, Cassie and Carl say their 3-year-old twin boys were acting so wildly during an evaluation that their doctor said she hadn’t seen a case of ADHD so bad in a long time. Now that the boys are medicated, what does Cassie say is her biggest worry?
