New Facts Reveal a Lot of Kids Do Not Have ADHD Who are Treated for it
Hardly a day goes by that Natural Biology is not contacted by a concerned grandparent or parent because their kids have been diagnosed with ADHD - and there are some common vitamin protocols that are recommended by a growing number of physicians. It is not an area of expertise we subscribe to be experts at. Nonetheless, we are aware that many naturalist believe inherently that parents are over-medicating their children and are allowing "jump to conclusion" about ADHD often - too early. It is a difficult situation for parents to make the right choices.
Close to 1 million children in the United States have potentially been misdiagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) -- simply because they are the youngest, and therefore the most immature, in their kindergarten class.
These children are significantly more likely to be prescribed behavior-modifying drugs such as Ritalin. Such inappropriate treatment is particularly troubling because of the unknown impacts of long-term stimulant use on children's health.
According to Science Daily:
“It also wastes an estimated $320 million-$500 million a year on unnecessary medication -- some $80 million-$90 million of it paid by Medicaid”.
