For a child who is struggling I would get evaluated. It is well worth it to make sure it is ADHD and not something else.
Now, if it is ADHD I would medicate. And I have 2 kids with ADHD. They need it and cannot cope without it. One is worse on the ADHD scale and is not functional without meds.
As a therapist I see the consequences every day in my practice of people who have ADHD and never got medicated (or medicated correctly). It's a tough journey finding the right med.
My clients face anxiety, depression, low self esteem, poor coping skills, poor life skills and even addiction. Because they have ADHD and struggled their entire life.
