A young boy diagnosed with ADHD makes a video diary about what life is like with it, followed by a studio discussion with a panel of experts about the disorder, in an episode of Keeping Kids Healthy titled ADHD in Children: How to Cope with It.
Pediatrician Winnie King hosts this panel discussion between Johnathan and his mother, plus three specialists. They talk about the difference between regular rambunctiousness and a disorder, the three types of ADD/ADHD, research into causes, the controversy of overdiagnosis and medicating kids, the importance of a correct diagnosis by the right professional, and strategies for coping in daily life.
They also discuss alternative therapies including nutrition and biofeedback, and the importance of an integrative approach.
