Myomancy ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism

Parents, Kids and ADHD Medication

I’ve not tracked down the study behind this story so treat with sizable piece of salt.

Parents of children on ADHD drugs were nine times more likely than other parents to use the drugs themselves. And if at least one parent and child were taking an ADHD drug, a second child was more likely to do so, too.

Kids, parents often both on ADHD medications

  1. I haven’t seen this study, but I can say this.
    ADD/ADHD is highly genetic.
    If one child has it, it is about 30-40% chance that one parent has it.
    Also, there is a 20-25% chance that a sibling has it.
    So, it can run in families, and if a family recognizes the need for ADHD medication in one member, it may lead to medication use by the other affected individuals in the family.
