Let us face it, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder information is everywhere we look. It is a strange condition given that no one knows the cause, its diagnosis has a high inaccuracy rate and its treatment is not only expensive but in many cases not effective. In spite of all that,tons of psychostimulants are being prescribed for our children across the nation and there is not much attention being paid to getting at the real causes and root of the problem. You might be forgiven for thinking that is most mysterious, to say the least.

Many parents are asking questions about the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder information they are getting. The first question they want to know about is whether the FDA has issued sufficient warnings about the dangers of these medications which are nothing more than amphetamine drugs.

The second question they ask about is how come that no long term studies on the health risks associated with the most popular drug, Ritalin, have never been released. Do these studies exist and if they do, why on earth have they not been published?

But it is not all bad news. There is now thankfully much more awareness of the value of using child behavior modification techniques so that the behavior issues can be addressed. There are noteworthy experts such as Dr. Amen and Dr. Pelham who have led the way in a greater understanding and diffusion of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder information and not before time, either.

But all the information we are getting is obviously biased and that makes it difficult to decide what treatment options we should go for. We may have very strong views on whether a type of medication which is an amphetamine is stimulating our children's brains in a way that no one exactly understands! If it works, do not fix it, seems to be the motto.

It is strange that the same people who make these drugs look scornfully at homeopathic remedies and say that nobody understands how these remedies actually work on the human organism. Another mystery but which mystery is more worrying?

I know parents who judge medications by the results and if there are any side effects or health risks. As regards homeopathy, there have been no such results ever published simply because there is nothing to report. That is very different from the psychostimulants where you only have to visit the FDA site to understand the concerns and worries of the medical community.

So, these are the issues about the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder information we are getting to-day. It is up to every parent to look carefully at what is on offer and make an informed decision, perhaps in consultation with their medical practitioner.
