Summary: Questioning Medicine?
Review: If you are a parent and are questioning whether or not you should medicate your child, you should read this book. No parent wants to put their child on medicine. This book has helped me realize that medicine is needed for certain disorders and therapy alone does not work all of the time. This book is very informative and will help you understand that yes, medicine does help along with therapy. I enjoyed reading and realize that I am not alone and there is help.

Summary: A mother of a bipolar little boy
Review: This book did wonders! After the diagnosis of my son, there was some fighting in amongst the family as to whether or not his diagnosis was correct or if it was just my parenting. This book with it's facts and concise examples, helped me through this rough time and even gave me concrete facts I could show my relatives. I would recommend this book for anyone who has just had their child diagnosed.

Review: This book was so helpful to my husband and me when our son was diagnosed with ADHD. This really helped us to stop second-guessing ourselves and offers helpful advice on the issues of finding a good doctor and whether or not to medicate. Though learning that ADHD is a brain disorder was painful, it was comforting to learn that there was nothing we could have done to prevent it!

Summary: It's Nobody's Fault
Review: This is an excellent resource for parents, health care professionals, clergy and extended family members. The author effectively dispels the myths surrounding mental illness and other disorders, with an emphasis on pediatric and adolescent issues. I wish I'd had this book years ago when our children were diagnosed with ADD and learning disabilities. Extended family members felt that my husband and I were bad parents and that our kids needed more discipline. I'm happy to say that all three are successful young people. Thanks to the author for his sensitive approach to these disorders.
