Author Description

ADHD medications, such as methylphenidate and amphetamines, can effectively treat children's symptoms; however, they are ineffective for some children and can cause a range of side effects (see a recent blog here). Non-pharmacological interventions offer an alternative and complementary approach for treating ADD. NICE guidelines currently recommend psychoeducation and support, CBT, changes to diet, exercise and parent-training; yet many other treatments have been investigated. This book provides an opportunity to truly understand this thing we call A.D.D. and how to utilize the gifts that accompany it.
