It depends on the drugs you are using to treat it because they have different side effects.
I remember watching a talk show where one girl was prescribed too much and it killed her - and her parents wanted to warn others of the dangers and to try and stop other people using the drugs.
Parents on the show also claimed it turned their children into "zombies" and weren't at all like themselves.. whereas others said they don't know what they did without it!
What people WANT out of the drugs is just for the person taking it to be calmer and have more self control.. but that's not always the case.
