Do drugs change a child's personality?

No, the child will still be the same person, with their own preferences and aversions, but you'll notice, depending on the case, that they move around less, don't talk as fast, and are less impulsive. This can be mistaken for the child ceasing to be themselves, but what's actually happening is that their inattention and impulsivity have improved.

Sometimes an inappropriate change can be observed, and they themselves say they are lethargic or "flat." In these cases, we should inform the doctor to assess whether a change in dosage or medication is necessary.

Therefore, in those moments of fear, it is necessary to place your trust in those professionals who, with scientific rigor and experience, try to offer the best for your children.
