With summer vacation more than half over, the start of the new school year is quickly approaching. As anxious parents start the preparations for getting their children back-to-school, the parents of children with learning disabilities cope with the added pressure of a potentially rocky transition from an easy summer schedule to the structured school environment.

It often appears as if there is some kind of competition between the medical community and alternative practitioners. It is as if the success or failure of one somehow diminishes or validates the other. Many people who encounter my work think that I am completely against medicine. I am not. Although I have been called “Anti-pill Emery,” it is not a true statement. I do feel, however, that medicine in many cases and especially in the area of A.D.D. should always be THE LAST CHOICE when every other option has been EXHAUSTED.

I was in India in 1993 to help manage a community for orphans and blind children on behalf of a German charity. During the monsoon season, the week of the big Hyderabad earthquake, I took an all-day train ride almost all the way across the subcontinent (from Bombay through Hyderabad to Rajamundri) to visit an obscure town near the Bay of Bengal. In the train compartment with me were several Indian businessmen and a physician, and we had plenty of time to talk as the countryside flew by from sunrise to sunset.

With the incidence of attention deficit disorder increasing many people resort to various drugs the ADD treatment. The irony of the situation is that there is no fool-proof method of diagnosing ADD, and many a times there are normal children who have been diagnosed and stamped as ADD and being given child ADHD treatment while they may be normal children with maybe a slightly higher need for attention or slightly hyperactive.

ADHD is a condition that is generally associated with children. These children have a problem with controlling their behavior and are seen as being ‘hyperactive’ or ‘impulsive’. This condition has been studied extensively in children and till now, a permanent cure for this condition has not been found. At best, this condition can be managed effectively by the use of a combination of medicines and behavior therapy. However, doctors and pharmaceutical companies are working towards finding new ADHD treatments in their effort to finding a permanent cure to this condition. There are many other problems that have been associated with ADHD and one of these is bedwetting.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new amphetamine-based drug to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder won federal approval Friday. It’s harder to abuse than older stimulants, the manufacturer says.
The Food and Drug Administration approved Vyvanse, also known as lisdexamfetamine, agency spokeswoman Susan Cruzan said. The drug is made by Shire PLC.
Shire hopes the drug will extend its lucrative ADHD franchise once its top-selling Adderall XR begins facing competition from lower-priced generic versions in 2009. Shire plans to move patients from the older to the newer drug at the time, company spokesman Matt Cabrey said this week.
