Seems like a bit of a showdown: the FDA is urging parents to weigh the risk of ADHD meds vs. the risks, saying that a new study about the tie b/n the two may be inaccurate.
The study, which was partially funded by the FDA itself, suggests a link b/n the use of stimulant drugs and sudden death in kids and adolescents. But the FDA is saying that the study relied too much on interviews with parents and physicians years after the deaths, and therefore may be faulty.
Try everything else (cognitive skills training, change in diet, increase in sleep) before stimulant meds!
