Hi!
This is correct, but also more, it will cause other problems, such as cancer, sudden death risk (heart failure, also in healthy children) and stunting of growth.
These are some of the severe effects it has. So it surely isn't worth risking it. It only costs a lot of money, while it escalates problems.
Children taking Ritalin also become more agressive, aldough psychiatrists promote the opposite. Please investigate the honest science, and you will know ADHD-meds will escalate the behaviour problems.

This follows closely the findings in the UK.
As a former elementary school principal, I am quite aware that attention difficulties are just the tip of the iceberg. ADHD children can't filter out distractions, finish tasks on-time, use their memory optimally, etc. A pill doesn't teach these skills.
My wife and I opted to use cognitive training for our son, Alex. We used Play Attention and ADHD Nanny . We've been very successful with these approaches. We also changed our parenting skills with great success.
It's just important to know that medicine teaches nothing. Parents and teachers must actively participate to help change a child's life.
