About this ebook
The American Epidemic: Solutions for Over Medicating Our Youth provides new knowledge for parents, educators, all healthcare professionals, and public health policymakers to determine the cause of behavioral symptoms prior to psychoactive drug therapy in children. The Action Plan for Childhood Behavioral Conditions is a step-by-step solution to rule out nutritional, physiological, and environmental risk factors. The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) Child Foster Care drug audit report uncovered widespread abuses of overmedicating our children with ADHD stimulant and multiple psychoactive medications. The GAO report proves that the assessment and treatment of young children with behavioral symptoms requires immediate reform.
The Action Plan for Childhood Behavioral Conditions will help you:
- Understand the critical role parents play in child behavioral health- Unite parents, educators, and healthcare professionals to determine the cause of behavioral symptoms- Learn how to help your child develop a focused and healthy mind- Eliminate nutritional, physiological, and environmental risk factors that mimic childhood behavioral symptoms
