The process of attention deficit disorder diagnosis

Tess December 26th, 2006

Diagnosing any medical condition is the first step towards treating it. And this holds true and I especially important in the case of child attention deficit disorder. This is so because the diagnosis of ADD is not based upon a specific medical measure or a psychological state. There are just guidelines that have been provided in the shape of symptoms that indicate the condition. There are no specific medical laboratory tests that can be conducted to unequivocally stamp someone as an ADD patient. Moreover the guidelines that have been provided are also obscure and open to interpretation. And to top it all, the official diagnosis of ADD does not take the environment and the family situation into account.

Childhood Tantrums - What Can You Do?

Tess December 22nd, 2006

Children’s remedies

Children have problems too! Many medicines for children contain additives, artificial color and preservatives. Some are addictive and others may cause side effects which end up being worse than the condition that they are supposed to treat.

Even some of the more natural, herbal medicines should not be given to children under the age of 12, unless supervised by a health care practitioner! Parents are understandably concerned and may feel confused about what they can and can not give their children. As a Psychologist and as a parent, I have seen a need for safe, effective and healthy Natural Remedies especially formulated for children’s health.

The Gift of Attention Deficit Disorder

Tess December 22nd, 2006

“I just finished reading this book and I have decided that I am ADD.”

My client announced this to me at the opening of a counseling session. He then proceeded to talk to me about what the book said and how it made so much sense when he looked back on his life. His wife was quick to agree that it also made sense to her, especially around the area of certain behaviors, some of which had brought them to my doorstep. In my role as a spiritual coach and counselor, they had come to me to help them with frustrations in their personal spiritual growth as well as with stagnation in their marriage.
