Episode 9 - Denying your Child's Reality.

DENYING YOUR CHILD'S REALITY is a raw and extremely insightful interivew with our guest Kelley about her childhood and how her high sensitivity and deep intuition were mistaken for ADHD. Kelley ended up being put on Adderall at the age of 14 and shortly thereafter started self-medicating and going into a downward spiral that eventually caused the extreme depression that drove her to attempt to commit sucide twice. In this authentic, vulnerable, and courageous interview, Kelley clearly dispels the myth that 'unmedicated children with ADHD will eventually self-medicate'. We were told the same thing when our son got diagnosed and of course, as a parent, you are scared shitless that that might happen to your child. Most parents cave in and get their kids on meds instantly. In Kelley's case, being on 'legal' drugs only encouraged her to try other drugs to numb her pain of having her own reality denied by her parents and teachers. Listen in and hear for yourself what could be going on with your own child that you suspect has ADHD... For more information on this podcast or the movement, please visit www.adhdisover.com
