It's not that the malady wasn't around; it's just that the label hadn't been coined back then.In the past decade, the amount of ADHD diagnoses has skyrocketed. It seems like every single classroom has at least one child on medication for ADHD. Adults are even being diagnosed with adult ADHD.ADHD has gone from an obscure medical footnote to a household word in record time. Unfortunately, this disorder is largely misunderstood yet it is the most prevalent chronic health condition among school age children.What's inside:What is ADHDWhat Causes ADHDNot my ChildTo Medicate or Not to MedicateSpecific MedicationsBehavior ChangesFamilies and ADHDParenting an ADHD ChildYour ADHD Childs Self-EsteemAnger and ADHDAdult ADHDTeaching an ADHD ChildFinding SupportPart of our 'One Day Reader' series70 pages
