Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed -- and misdiagnosed -- disorders of childhood. In ADHD Alternatives, Aviva Jill Romm (a professional midwife and acting president of the American Herbalists Guild) and Tracy Romm (director of a high school for gifted students, many of whom arediagnosed with ADHD) offer a holistic approach to diagnosing and treating ADHD with nutrition, herbal medicine, and targeted parenting instead of Ritalin and other psychostimulant drugs.
