If you refuse to even allow your ADHD a med break after they express that the side effects are too much you are abusive
If your child has ADHD and is medicated and you do not allow them to get off of the medication or at least take a break after they express that they do not like the way the medication makes them feel or that the side effects are worse than their condition you are abusing that child.
Anytime this comes up somebody automatically jumps to defending medication by saying that if you had any other condition like diabetes you would take medication for that however that analogy has never worked and bringing that up to try to justify why you will not allow your child to feel better is dismissive and shows that you do not care
It's obvious that the only reason parents do this is because they don't want to actually deal with their child who has ADHD which as an ADHD mother of an ADHD child I understand how hard it is but medicating them until they no longer feel like they know themselves is psychological abuse that will have long-term physical impacts
Medication is not the only treatment option and medication does not work for everybody for many of us the side effects are worse than the condition itself
