The Unexpected Dangers of ADHD Medication and Why Parents Are Switching to Natural Solutions
by Felix T on Jan 08, 2025
A Worrying Trend: Medication Use Among Young People
In the past decade, the global use of ADHD medication has increased by as much as 50%. In the Netherlands, children and young people are increasingly referred to specialist care without GPs themselves deeming this necessary.
General practitioners often feel pressured by parents and schools
A survey of 907 GPs showed that as many as one in three GPs prescribe ADHD medication under pressure from parents, and one in five does so under pressure from schools. In addition, many GPs believe that the diagnosis of ADHD is made too easily and that medication is prescribed too quickly.
99% of the time, ADHD symptoms are not thoroughly assessed before medication is prescribed.
Yet research shows that 60 percent of children who stop taking medication do not experience significant decline. This suggests that many children who have been on medication for more than two years could stop without any problems. But why does this trend continue? Guidelines are often not followed well: in only one percent of cases is the severity of ADHD symptoms properly assessed before medication is prescribed. Meanwhile, one in four children who start ADHD medication at age six are still on it at age 17.
Furthermore, the medication does not work equally well for all young people in the long term. In 2022, 6% of young people in Juvenile Detention Centers reported having used medication without a doctor's prescription, such as ADHD medication or tranquilizers.
What's Going Wrong?
Parents and caregivers often face a dilemma: they want the best for their children, but the pressure to see quick results can lead to choices that are harmful in the long run. ADHD medication carries risks: addiction sensitivity, mood swings, insomnia and loss of appetite. These side effects are especially concerning in children, but adults are also at risk.
Should heavy medication always be the first choice? What if there are better options? Alternatives that are less risky and can be just as effective?
Think of Alternatives
Alternatives to heavy medication are an important first step. Think of behavioral interventions, parent training or adjustments in the environment. These approaches can sometimes make a big difference. But if extra support is needed, natural options can also be effective.
Natural Alternatives such as Supplements
Supplements offer a safe way to improve mental acuity without the risks of heavy drugs. Ingredients such as:
-
Panax Ginseng : Increases alertness and helps you stay sharp.
-
L-Tyrosine : Supports mental focus and cognitive performance.
-
Ashwagandha : Helps reduce stress and promotes balance.
-
