More copies of this ISBN:The Ritalin Fact Book: What Your Doctor Won't Tell Youby Peter R Breggin
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Known as the "Ralph Nader of psychiatry," Peter Breggin has been the medical expert in countless civil and criminal cases involving the use or misuse of psychoactive medications. This unusual position has given him unprecedented access to private pharmaceutical research and correspondence files, access that informs this straight-talking guide to the most-prescribed and controversial class of psychoactive medications prescribed for children. From how these drugs work in the brain to documented side and withdrawal effects, The Ritalin Fact Book is up-to-the-minute and easy-to-access. With its suggestions for non-prescriptive ways to treat ADD and ADHD, it is essential reading for every parent whose child is on or who has been recommended psychoactive medication. Book News Annotation:Written to provide adults the information they need to make informed
choices about the medications they use and those they give their
children, this book explains how stimulants work and identifies their
limitations and potential harms. It also scrutinizes the ADHD
diagnoses and provides alternative treatments. Breggin is a
psychiatrist.
