About 6.1 million children in the USA (9.4 percent) between ages 2 to 17 are estimated to have been diagnosed with ADHD or ADD, according to a 2016 study from the CDC. Most are prescribed stimulant drugs to manage it. There's a downside to that approach. This 30 min. course introduces what ADD and ADHD is all about. It gives you data about why we need effective alternatives to the drugs. It prepares you for Part 2 of the course which spells out the practical application of effective, natural alternatives to medications.
