The American Academy of Pediatrics this weekend expanded its guidelines for diagnosing and treating kids with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, recommending that doctors evaluate all patients aged four to 18 who show signs of the condition.
The new guidelines update decade-old recommendations that focused on diagnosing and managing ADHD in kids aged six to 12. But behavior problems, over-activity and trouble paying attention can show up earlier, researchers said, and ADHD often persists into adolescence or even adulthood.
Pediatricians should also look out for learning disabilities, anxiety and other issues that can go hand-in-hand with ADHD. And, they should tailor treatment with behavior therapy and medication based on kids’ age and severity of symptoms, says a statement published in Pediatrics.'
NOTE: Can't miss out on more business opportunities! Strike early, get people hooked on Big Pharma toxins for their entire lives. There is a huge surge in the symptoms associated with ADD and ADHD, however, as a Naturopath, I would look toward the cause, not just suppress the symptoms with horrible complications and side effects.
Interesting, that people who eat real, healthy, natural food, without any processed, industrial food, synthetics, steroids etc don't suffer from these disorders.
