I wasn’t talking about your self-medication, I was referring to what your child and others like him felt about having been so treated.
Then yes. She is a much happier child. Her grades are better along with her self-esteem and she does not have issues with being called out in class for working/acting different because the teachers are either too lazy, overwhelmed, under-educated, or just choose to be as_es ( maybe all ) when dealing with her and being teased by other kids for being different. Kids would accuse her of stuff that she would not do knowing the teachers have already formed an opinion of her before she was treated and call her out just so they could tease her later or avert attention from themselves. These days kids cannot correct bullying by a necessary tune-up they have to take it less they go to jail and parents get sued and we all know kids are merciless.
So again yes, her quality of life increased 100 fold.
