: My friend took her child to a nuerologist today for an exam and
: diagnose of ADHD-Inattentive in her daughter. She was very
: disturbed by the lack of formality in diagnosing. She gave her a
: quick check up and then looked briefly at a questionare my friend
: filled out. She diagnosed her quickly, even without looking at
: behavioral scales from the school.: Anyway, what concerned her is that since she said she wasn’t keen on
: medicating her with Ritalin just yet, the doctor recommended she
: give her caffeine instead. She told her to have her drink a can of
: soda or even coffee in the morning. Is this an alternative course
: of treatment that I haven’t read about yet?: Jackie
