ADHD Medicine - Just What the Doctor Ordered?
Just what the doctor ordered! Very often parents think that ADHD medicine will be the solution in dealing with a hyperactive child suffering from ADHD.
That is just the tip of the iceberg because the harassed parent is often unaware that nutrition and certain behavioural therapy can work in tandem with medicine for ADHD to help the child through this difficult period.
A Drugged Nation? We certainly live in a strange era - the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is recommending that in certain cases of obesity in children (as young as 8 years old!) statins can be prescribed for lowering their cholesterol.
That is an alarming reflection on the failure of nutrition programs at home and at school.
Adults have jumped on the psychostimulant drug wagon and we now know that academics, managers and high flyers are taking ADHD medicine (eg.
Ritalin) to allow them to power build their memory, concentrate and focus better so that they can outsmart all the competition! This was reported recently in Nature magazine and nobody seems to be too worried about the ethics.
In one survey one in every five adults were using such psychostimulants to give them the winning edge.
Does TV Cause ADHD? Somebody has remarked that TV does more parenting than the actual parents.
We have allowed children too much exposure to media and many of the programs are violent and/or contain explicit sex scenes.
While it would be too simplistic to say that TV causes ADHD, there remains the fact that children need 'green' activities, support, love and attention and a PC screen cannot do that.
And The Good News? That's enough bad news! The good news is that more and more children are being treated with alternative therapies although that is a very broad term and can cover a multitude of different types of treatments from homeopathy to yoga! According to the New York Times, one in 9 children will have some kind of alternative treatment.
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine reports that almost 3 million young people are taking supplements - these can range from fish oils to ginseng or homeopathy.
More Good News! There is more good news in that ADHD alternative therapies exist and that they can help a child to concentrate better and calm down hyperactivity.
Parents have been scared about the FDA warnings on the boxes of ADHD medicine and now want to help their children to meet the ADHD challenge without having to go through all the nasty side effects caused by the drugs like Risperdal, Adderall, Concerta and Ritalin.
