New ADHD Treatments - Looking At Safer Options To Protect Your Child
There are no new ADHD treatments. That is the bad news. The good news is that there will never be a cure which consists of a pill in a bottle to be taken three times a day. Why should I regard that as good news?
The answer is simply because the only successful way to treat ADHD is to have a comprehensive treatment plan which can include medication together with some behavior modification techniques, a few lifestyle changes such as more green time and some dietary changes. All the experts are agreed that this is the way forward and there are no real changes in the new ADHD treatments offered now.
There is no major development in the discovery of new ADHD treatments that could miraculously change the behavior of your child and give him a longer attention span. In a way, this is good news because it means that patients are relying less on these drugs and are now much more savvy about the risks in taking them.
Just two short years ago, a new drug called Cylert or Pemoline was withdrawn because there were several reports of liver failure. Similarly the FDA is taking no chances and recently has told all the manufacturers of these drugs such as Adderall, Ritalin and Vyvanse that they have to put the black box warnings on all these meds. The main risks are considered now to be those associated with heart disease and risks of psychiatric conditions.
So, what are the safer options for new ADHD treatment to protect your child so that there is absolutely no risk of drug abuse, drug selling and ending up with a heart condition? The main research is now focused on less medication and more attention to lifestyle changes and much more attention to behavior therapy. The latter may be learned form a counsellor or therapist but many parents are put off by the cost.
A much cheaper option is to go for a home study course which is backed up by a helpline. When things get really tough, you have somebody to turn to and there is no cost involved apart from the initial outlay. That is the way many parents are going now and they also get support from forums and parent support groups.
Another safer option is to consider homeopathic treatments for ADHD so that your child can be calmer, can focus better and his whole nervous system is soothed by medicine which will restore the mind body balance. That is exactly what homeopathic preparations can do and I know that thousands of parents have found that this is the safest way to protect their child while also providing a much calmer and happier atmosphere in which to implement any behavioral changes.
Now that you know that the new ADHD treatments are not really changing anything, why not check this option out?
