description: Medical treatment for ADHD fails far more often than it should - not because of the drugs themselves but how they are used - in the complete absence of any precise rules for ADHD Med dosage adjustment. New ADHD Medication Rules -- Brain Science &amp; Common Sense shows that patients can react quite differently to ADHD prescriptions for biomedical and brain function reasons resulting in missed diagnoses imbalanced treatment and over or under medication. In the only book of its kind Dr. Parker clearly explains how these misunderstandings occur and how improved communication with medical professionals can dramatically improve treatment using available methods assembled from clinical experience and laboratory research. This is a global problem not only experienced in the US. What you will learn from New ADHD Medication Rules: Medication burn rates depend on how the brain reacts to stimulant medications and to underlying causes in the body such as nutritional and immune challenges which affect brain function--and ultimately reaction to ADHD medications. Treatment is not on par with easily available brain science. Brain science employs precise ADHD guideposts to remove much of the guesswork around diagnosis and treatment. The public needs to know about these fresh discoveries.  Few if any rules are available to practitioners for the daily clinical use of ADHD medications. Without specific rules patients face an amorphous imprecise standard-of-practice quagmire. In straightforward language that simplifies the mind/body complexity of ADHD medical management New ADHD Medication Rules offers clinical data and explanations for why treatments fail too often. Using irrefutable research about brain and body responses to ADHD meds Dr. Parker outlines New Rules--practical treatment protocols--to customize treatment to the patient for more predictable outcomes. Treatment precision matters even if diagnostic precision falters. Written for patients parents of children with ADHD coaches and professionals at any level New Rules compels all of us to pay better attention to the drugs for not paying attention. Too many live in the paradox of inattention to inattention meds. Both paperback and Kindle editions are now available at Amazon.
