Answers the two most important questions about the use of
medication to treat ADHD. Does medication work? And is it safe? In
ADHD Medication, Dr. Walt Karniski uses his 40 years of experience
as a developmental pediatrician to address important concerns that
parents have about the use of medication for the treatment of ADHD.
Because there is no medical diagnostic test to definitively "make a
diagnosis" of ADHD, it is easy for critics to dismiss ADHD as a
disorder fabricated by doctors, teachers, and pharmaceutical
companies. Some parents blame themselves, and react with guilt,
believing that they should have raised their child differently. So
when you are presented with the diagnosis of a medical disorder in
your child, is it any wonder that you might react with confusion,
guilt, or denial? It doesn't have to be that way. Parents are
surprised to learn that there are almost 50 different medications
used to treat ADHD, representing only two primary medications. This
book addresses such issues as how to determine if medication is
needed, how to decide which medication is the right fit for your
child, whether children can outgrow ADHD, how to eliminate
medication side effects, and how you can discuss the need for
medication with your child. Most importantly though, this book
answers the questions: Does ADHD medication work, and is it safe?
This book is a powerful resource for parents and practitioners
alike seeking to understand the treatment of ADHD in children.
