Question
I would like to know what exactly riddalin is? also once a child is on it will they ever not need it?Is a child ever cured of ADD/ADHD?
I am sure you are referring to Ritalin. It is a brain stimulant used to treat ADHD. Some children with ADHD might outgrow the condition and will no longer need medication. A large percentage of children will not outgrow the condition and will need medical treatment even as adults.
