ADHD
The ADHD label had been rampantly overused on children with completely different problems when the controversial first edition of ADHD was praised by practitioners and parents alike as a timely book whose message was long overdue. This new edition includes a complete revision of the chapter on medication, detailing when to use certain drugs and the side effects that can be expected, and including a thorough review and update of older medications. Special problems for teenagers with ADHD are addressed, including sexual relationships, pregnancy, substance abuse, driving, and general teen attitudes. Material has 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.

Read for a project in a Psychology class. This book is very useful tool for those who want to learn about ADHD and I can specifically see this being useful for parents and educators. I goes into detail about the history of the name, different medication therapies as well as alternative therapies, it also offered advice for education and well as advising parents and teacher to know patient and educational rights.
