[WilliamCave]

Hi I am looking for a doctor or help to deal with a child with ADD,

Here in Bkk I have not heard of to many, any western parents know of a good doctor or other treatment?

Or for that matter what I can do?

otherwise if you'Re crazy enough to ruin your child health and life(like i have seen many of my friends go through because of those idiotic drugs which are ALMOST like pure cocaine) just go to any pharmacy and request ritalin yourself.. its the only brand in thailand(and an indian copy).. which is a TERRIBLE brand since its a 1 time large release that only lasts 2hours and boosts you as hard as cocaine. Its not like with adderal XR that releases just a lil bit every hour. The doctors dealing with adhd here are only in it for the money, they dont even know anything about any of the research done on the subject.

Not sure if they can help your specific case, but they should be able to point you in the right direction. Run by an English lady who did this 'back home' for a number of years.
