Usually a first line of treatment for children struggling with ADHD is medication. The though goes ‘if we can just get them to sit still and focus, they will do better’.
Therefore it surprising and a bit 
alarming, that this new study finds that medication alone is not enough. The research conducted at the University of Glasgow in Scotland and published in JAMA Pediatrics show that not only do kids continue to struggle in school, but that they are at higher risk of hospitalization for injuries.
There certainly can be many factors that would explain this, from a challenging home life to struggle with peer interactions among others. The fact is that there are a variety of treatment options that can augment what medication alone is able to do.
