It’s also my job to communicate with parents during what is often a very difficult and scary time. More than anything, parents want their children to be okay, and I often encourage them by stressing that mental illness is highly treatable, and adolescents are capable of extraordinary growth. With treatment and proactive parents, hope does persist and, with some time and commitment, life can and will go on for children and parents alike. When I do interviews or public readings parents often ask me about warning signs in children for depression and even suicidality. They may be worried about a daughter who is withdrawing, or a son who sleeps for hours on end and is failing in school. These ...

Moreover, hundreds of newspaper articles, Internet postings and TV/radio news reports have parroted these findings, widely sounding the death knell for this particular herbal remedy in ADHD. But a critical look at the research publication in JAMA leads me to conclude that the study actually adds little to our understanding of whether or not St. John’s Wort is effective for ADHD. There are at least four major flaws with this study, namely: it was small, it was short, it used subpotent test “drug,” and one of its researchers is widely known to be on the payroll of big ph...

Just go to the “FRONTLINE” Web site for the episode of the Medicated Child. There you will find a wealth of information and can watch the entire program. “FRONTLINE” is one of the best programs on TV today and I recommend it highly. Here are the first two paragraphs verbatim from the introduction page of this show’s Web site: In recent years, there’s been a dramatic increase in the...
