ONE day he was a happy, well-adjusted 7-year-old, then suddenly, it seemed, he couldn't stop washing his hands. Nine or ten scrubbings and he still couldn't shake the feeling of being dirty. Then there were his visits to the library. As he left, he was always convinced he'd taken something without checking it out, though he couldn't think what. It was just a nagging feeling that wouldn't go away. "Jason" had somehow developed obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

Childhood infections, broken bones, schoolyard bullies - parents are more than ready for these. But a diagnosis of mental illness can catch even the most vigilant parents off guard. We know so little about what causes these illnesses, and still less about how to treat them. Yet more than one in three of our children will struggle with the likes of anxiety or depression, obsessive compulsive thoughts or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) during their childhood.

The trend these days is to treat mental illness in children, as in adults, with drugs. In the US, sales of psychotropic medicines are growing faster than those of any other type of childhood drug. There is some debate about why this is happening - whether the incidence of disease is growing, detection is improving, or diagnostic categories are changing. Many people nurture a gut feeling that lots of children are being medicated unnecessarily. Whatever the cause, their numbers are growing - and the children affected are getting younger. Among pre-schoolers, treatment rates have more than doubled in the past two decades. 

There is a highly effective treatment alternative to drugs.

For over 35 years I have worked with ADHD children and their families. Having been an  ADHD child myself, I have a personal interest in this area.

Current explanations of the disorder never fit my experience or the children I saw. It always seemed contradictory that children who could not attend to school work could play computer games for hours, though both activities use the same areas of the brain. This stimulated years of  research and rethinking  of ADHD theory and treatment.  From this I developed my new (patented) and highly effective, drug free, Computer Aided Emotional Restructuring (CAER) treatment  and wrote my books, ADHD: Drug-free and Doin' Fine and , ADHD: A Path to Success to explain it. Learn how ADHD is not a defect, deficit or a disorder, but a highly skilled short-term defense mechanism that backfires in the long-run. Read more than 40 Amazon.com “customer reviews” of my book and treatment.   The most typical response when people read the book is “That makes so much more sense than anything else I have read”, “You describe my child exactly”.

It will empower you  an optimistic lens that will forever change how you see your child and his problems.
