Today’s interesting read was through the latest guidelines for ADHD produced by the national Institute for Clinical Excellence – (NICE) – 2008 Downloadable from here: http://guidance.nice.org.uk/CG72/NiceGuidance/pdf/English
According to guidelines for ADHD: Recommends care in diagnosis as symptoms overlap with other disorders. Not every person with ADHD has all of the symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention All people with ADHD, including children, should have the opportunity to be involved in decisions about their care and treatment in partnership with their healthcare professionals. Healthcare professionals should offer parents or carers of pre-school children with ADHD a referral to a parent-training/education programme as the first-line treatment . Teachers who have received training about ADHD and its management should provide behavioural interventions in the classroom to help children and young people with ADHD. The child or young person should give their own account of how they feel, and involve the child or young person and the family or carer in treatment decisions Drug treatment is not indicated as the first-line treatment for all school-age children and young people with ADHD. Parents and/or carers should be warned about the potential for suicidal thinking and self-harming behaviour
So how much of this relates to your experience of how ADHD is handled??
