Handcuffs Do Not Belong in Schools
A sheriff's deputy from Kentucky is currently facing federal lawsuit because he handcuffed at least two elementary school students who were acting up. It turns out that both of these children have diagnosed neuro-developmental conditions including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which makes it difficult for them to control their emotions and behavior. As a psychologist, I have worked with children who were labeled "Seriously Emotionally or Behaviorally Disturbed," and I have had children lash out at me both physically and verbally. I have been trained in how to handle these situations by first understanding what ...

Neurodevelopmental Disorders: A Definitive Guide for Educators
As a teacher, it can be especially rewarding to work with students who have special needs. However, that can also mean we are thrown into a classroom with a big group of kids, many of whom have been diagnosed with learning disabilities we know very little about.
Because we often start the year scrambling to educate ourselves on our new students’ needs, I had hoped that Neurodevelopmental Disorders: A Definitive Guide for Educators would be a useful resource. Unfortunately, I did not come away from it with a better sense of how to help this student population.
Author Frank E. Vargo provides a breakdown of types of ...

ADHD Online Application Proves Helpful To Doctors
BOSTON (CBS) — “School isn’t my favorite thing to do. I think ‘Eh’ about school.” Not an uncommon sentiment among 10-year-olds like Eli Bak of Belmont, but there’s one subject he really struggles with: writing.
“He has difficulty with things that require a lot of handwork and difficulty with things that require a lot of steps,” says Randy Bak, Eli’s father.
Bak’s parents consulted with Dr. Marilyn Augustyn, a developmental and behavioral pediatrician at Boston Medical Center. She wanted to rule out attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
“It’s the kind of diagnosis that I...

Two drugs reduce teacher-rated anxiety, in addition to ADHD, aggression
The addition of risperidone to parent training and a stimulant also improves teachers’ assessments of anxiety and social avoidance, new research shows. Improvement in teacher-rated anxiety and social withdrawal also contributed to improvements in parent-rated disruptive behavior. Children who showed reduced anxiety also showed less disruptive behavior.

An Ancient Fix For Backache
Too many doctors refuse to think outside the narrow confines of the mainstream medical establishment – especially when it comes to chronic back pain.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons Americans go to the doctor, which explains why it’s also one of America’s biggest businesses.
But I never cease to be astounded when patients come to my wellness clinic with back pain and tell me they’ve already had a barrage of dangerous Big Pharma prescriptions pushed at them.
These drugs include highly addictive opiates like Vicodin, Percocet and OxyContin.
Meanwhile, big bucks are also made when doctors push ...

Better Night's Sleep May Help Kids With ADHD
BY SHEREEN LEHMAN
Thu Feb 19, 2015 12:33pm EST
(Reuters Health) - Kids with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and sleep problems showed slight improvement in their symptoms after undergoing a behavioral sleep intervention, Australian researchers say.
The daytime improvement in ADHD symptoms was partly the result of the kids getting a better night’s sleep, and possibly of parents’ learning methods for dealing with behavior problems, the study found.
“Our previous work found that sleep problems were common in children with ADHD and associated with poorer behavior, ADHD symptoms, quality of life and day...

The Globalization of Attention Deficit Disorder
Mental disorders have become a global commodity. A diagnostic fad heavily promoted first in the US now quickly spreads around the world.
Multinational corporations have perfected the profitable art of international marketing. The reach of Big Pharma stretches everywhere in the world with a sales pitch easily translated into every language. 'Sell the ill to sell the pill.'
The basic strategy is to expand the market by convincing the healthy that they are sick-that their expectable distress and imperfections are a mental disorder caused by a brain chemical imbalance that requires correction with an overpriced pill.
The ve...

A Learning Problem Is Not an Intelligence Problem
Report cards are coming home, and a good number of parents are worried that their child seems to be showing signs of a learning disability. Their concern is well founded; learning disabilities including A.D.H.D. and dyslexia affect 20% of our students and less than half get the attention they need. That is a large community, in fact, the largest minority in the country. For these kids, often the day is longer, the challenge greater, the work harder. Unless we identify and assist them, the national cost in human potential and hard dollars will be tremendous.
Kids with learning disabilities drop out ten times more frequentl...

Pregnant drink binges harm kids' mental health
Conclusion
This prospective cohort study has suggested that even occasional binge drinking in pregnancy may increase the risk of hyperactivity/inattention problems and lower academic performance when the children reach 11 years old.
The strengths of the study are its design – selecting a wide and representative population sample collecting data prospectively – and using standardised questionnaires to assess the children’s outcomes.
Assessing the impact of alcohol in pregnancy on children’s outcomes is difficult. This is partly because assessing alcohol consumption is always difficult. People may not want to repo...

CDC Reports More Than 10K Toddlers Medicated For ADHD
BOSTON (CBS) — The Centers for Disease Control reports an alarming number of toddlers are given medication for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Experts say it’s not only appalling, it’s irresponsible.
Dr. Nancy Rappaport, a child psychiatrist at Cambridge Health Alliance and Harvard Medical School reacts to recent data from the CDC showing that more than 10,000 American two and three-year-olds are now being medicated for ADHD.
“Developmentally, you’re supposed to be scattered and disorganized as a toddler,” Rappaport says.
Rappaport has been diagnosing and treating children with...
