Don't want to medicate!
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
I don't want to medicate because my son had such horrible adverse side effects to the ADHD medications. What else can we do to help him get through school? Without the stimulants he won't pass his classes BUT with the medication he has side effects that have gotten him diagnosed as Bipolar. Any suggestions???? PLEASE HELP!

" Check out crossroadsinstitute.org

They have programs for those that do not live near there location so check it out.

I would recommend my doctor in Orlando. He ran tests on my daughter that I had never heard of that provided volumes of information and lead to a complete turnaround in her abilities at school. "
