Problem: You and Your Spouse Disagree About ADHD Medication

ADDitude Magazine

If one parent feels strongly that your child shouldn’t be taking ADHD medication and expresses that to your child, you may have a serious problem. If the child has conflicting views about the benefits of medication, he might stop taking it or question why he has to take it. Set up an appointment with your doctor to discuss the ADHD diagnosis and the value of medication with your spouse.
