| Commanding Attention: A Parent and Patient Guide to More ADHD Treatment |
Thankfully, Commanding Attention has received great reviews on Amazon. Please check out the book!!
Are you a parent or caregiver for someone who’s been
diagnosed with ADHD? Are you wondering
if medication is the only treatment that will help the troublesome symptoms of
this condition? Are you looking for other
treatments that may enhance the medication that you have been prescribed?
In COMMANDING ATTENTION, author Tess Messer
presents an organized, well-researched guide for parents and patients dealing
with ADHD. She has dealt with the
condition firsthand as a Physician Assistant and the editor of the award
winning Primarily Inattentive ADD blog as well as in in the treatment of own
her sons, who have managed extremely well with a combination of therapies drawn
from her broad research.
Beginning with an explanation of the causes of the
condition to a discussion of how to best evaluate the symptoms, to detailed
descriptions of multiple treatments, the author makes the case for a shift in
our approach to treating ADHD. Not so quick to rely on medications alone, the
author proposes other treatments that, alone or in combination with medication,
successfully treat the symptoms of ADHD while helping those with the condition
achieve a level of normalcy not possible in years past.
Delving into the findings from research, the
benefits of various treatments, the costs, side effects, and the limitations of
these therapies, COMMANDING ATTENTION reads like a laymen’s guide to
understanding and treating ADHD. The
book also provides an extensive bibliography of resources and references for use
by readers.
For so many, ADHD is a condition that, on a daily
basis, hinders their ability to succeed.
While drug treatments for ADHD are advancing, some of these treatments
come with side effects that make medication treatment an unacceptable option
for some patients and parents. Because
of this, many patients discontinue their medications, jeopardizing their
health, their mental well-being, and their quality of life.
As more people continue to look for ways to improve
the quality of life for those with ADHD, combination therapies are emerging and
being pushed to the forefront of treatment. COMMANDING ATTENTION
presents these remedies in a concise, easy-to-read format for parents,
patients, and professionals.
