Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It is estimated that one in 10 children in the UK suffers from some form of hyperactivity (also known as Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder. Families trying to cope with the disorder can often find themselves at the brunt of other people's disapproval as their child seemingly runs wild, is aggressive, pays no attention to others and ignores discipline.
Maggie Jones, a specialist health writer, wades through the confusion in Hyperactivity--What's The Alternative, presenting clearly and precisely the essential information about the condition and its treatment by looking at both the conventional and the alternative.
With up-to-date medical information, effective alternative therapies, self-help strategies and advice on diet and nutrition, Jones also tailors her advice to suit different age groups and lists societies, support groups and associations that can offer practical help and support.
An invaluable guide to a tricky subject that can leave sufferers and their families reeling, Hyperactivity--What's The Alternative takes a positive approach that parents and children will welcome.--Susan Harrison
Synopsis
Estimates suggest that one in ten children suffer from Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in the UK, one in eight in the US, and these numbers are increasing rapidly. If the current trend continues, over 8 million children in the US alone will be taking drugs for ADHD by the turn of the century. As the numbers affected escalate, so do the fears concerning the prescribed drugs, particularly Ritalin and Dexedrine. For the parents of a child suffering from ADHD, these worries land on top of the exhaustion and confusion caused by the actual illness. In this text, Maggie Jones provides an overview of the Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). She explains the conventional treatments offered and all the effective alternative treatments available, and shows parents practical steps they can take to understand, support and care for themselves and their child.
