2000-08-31It is UNBELIEVEABLE how little parents, teachers, and physicians know about the ADHD disorder. I believe many problems related to ADHD happen because the public is not educated enough about ADHD, and because of this, we seem to have a big outbreak of ADHD today. Many problems with ADHD center around the fact that there are also MANY descrepancies in how children are being tested, and even who thinks these children are ADHD. Many physicians aren't trained to look at other symptoms that mimick ADHD, and end up often misdiagnosing our children, or prescribing medications that they didn't need in the first place. Teachers are not professionals in diagnosing these types of problems either!
I know of many instances where parents have taken school information to a General Pediatrician, and walked out in 15 minutes with a prescription for Ritalin, without their child ever being appropriately tested. THIS IS SO MISFORTUNATE!!!
Dr. Haber has included some very important material in this book about ADHD - What it is, and What it isn't, how the many different medications and treatments work - or don't work, and most importantly WHY OUR CHILDREN ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED AND LABELED ADHD. Knowing what symptoms look like ADHD but aren't is SO important.
I am glad to have found a source of information like this.

This latest edition of Julian Haber's highly praised and controversial exploration of the rampant, and often incorrect, overuse of the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) includes a wealth of new information. The chapter on medication has been completely revised and now details when to use certain drugs, side effects that can be expected, and a thorough review and update of older medications. Dr. Haber addresses problems special to teenagers with ADHD, including sexual relationships, pregnancy, substance abuse, driving, and general teen attitudes. Material has also been added to help parents find their way through the legal maze of public education where children are often wrongly first stigmatized with the ADHD label.
