Discover The Shocking Truth About ADHD Medications For Children With Dyslexia

ADHD medications for children with dyslexia? I am not sure about you, but if you ask me, there is something seriously wrong with this picture.
After all, dyslexia is dyslexia.
It most certainly is not Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by any stretch of the imagination.
Unfortunately, there is a massive shortage of doctors experienced in treating disorders such as the two I have mentioned in the above paragraph.
This means that a large number of children are at risk of being incorrectly diagnosed.
Lacking the necessary experience, a doctor may easily confuse dyslexia for ADHD, particularly in very young children.
Having said all that, I should also point out that it is possible for children to have ADHD and Dyslexia.
It is also interesting to know that when these kids are treated with certain ADHD prescription drugs, the drugs also tend to reduce the severity of their Dyslexia.
However, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has so far refused to approve these drugs for the treatment of Dyslexia.
The reason why they are reluctant to approve these drugs for this type of reading disorder is because they realize the dangers involved.
ADHD prescription drugs are powerful stimulant drugs that have a direct impact on brain wave activity.
They are also highly addictive, to a point where patients need to be weaned off them gradually over a period of time.
The drugs used for treating ADHD are also known to cause side effects, including heart failure, liver damage, and worse of all, suicidal thoughts and tendencies.
In fact, scores of children have already taken their own lives because of these drugs.
The FDA has made it mandatory for drug manufacturers to print a Black Box Warning on all relevant packaging, and let's not forget, this is the FDA's most serious warning, reserved solely for those drugs that pose a very real risk.
They also make it clear that the drugs should never be prescribed for anyone with a history of depression, or to anyone with a drinking problem.
This is due to an increased risk of suicide.
My question is, how do you know if a seven years old child has depression, and in case you are wondering, these drugs are routinely given to kids of this age.
Of course the concern many people have, is that there is really no way to determine whether or not some doctors are using ADHD medications for children with dyslexia.
As I always mention in the articles I write, it is vital for parents to get a second opinion if their children are diagnosed with any type of psychiatric disorder.
