Pros:
Treatment of ADHD can be a problematic disorder to handle both for the person suffering from it and the family. There are many remedies available but each has its pros and cons. As an attention deficit disorder sufferer, I have been taking many different kinds of medications both as a child and adult.
I am not a doctor or a psychologist but after so many years of being a “patient” and being a father of a son who has this disorder, I think I am qualified enough to talk about what’s available. Some parents opt for pharmacological treatment, others for alternative options, while there are still others who use a combination of the two treatments.
The most common medications given these days for ADHD are Ritalin, Adderall and Cylert. Most sufferers need some kind of medication to lessen the hyperactive and aggressive behaviors.  As with all options, even involving medication have their pros and cons. Though I was not in favor of medicating my son, I did not stop the treatment without discussing it first with his doctor. It was during that discussion I first figured out the pros and cons.
I found out that medication worked very quickly and it took the doctor just a few days to decide which drug was good for my son. Of course, it involved adjusting the dosage.
The drugs used to treat ADD are not very expensive. These drugs are life-savers for kids and adults whose lives are falling apart because of the disorder.
