From the Back Cover
Find out if a secondary problem is sabotaging your child's treatment for ADHD and more important, how to deal with it successfully
According to a study supported by the National Institute of Mental Health, about 70 percent of children with ADHD have one or more additional disorders that need to be addressed. Often these second diagnoses are not recognized. Even if your child is already under a doctor's care, you may notice behaviors that make you wonder if the treatment is working. Dealing with ADHD can be frustrating--but there's hope.
Why is My Child's ADHD Not Better Yet? is the first book to help you cope with the problem of dual diagnosis and ADHD. It shows you how to recognize signs of depression, bipolar illness, oppositional defiant disorder, autism, and other disorders that may be hidden in the shadow of your child's ADHD. And it presents a wide range of strategies and solutions to ensure that your child gets the best care possible.
Learn how to:
* Identify common disorders that can occur with ADHD
* Monitor symptoms and implement treatments at home
* Work with your child's teachers and doctors to find the best solutions
