I’ve found two guides online for learning more about medication for ADHD.
The first is the “ADHD Parents’ Medication Guide” (I added the apostrophe to the title…I think it needs one.) It was created by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) and the American Psychiatric Assocation (APA). It can be found [...]

A study found that ambidextrous children (those that are both left- and right-handed) are more likely to develop ADHD symptoms later in life, compared to their left-handed and right-handed peers.
The article states:
Mixed-handed children, relative to right-handed, had approximately a twofold increase in odds of having difficulties with language and scholastic performance at the [...]

Young adults taking stimulant medication had significantly improved driving performance on a simulator compared to the placebo group. Also, it was found that there was no significant differences in driving performances between atomoxetine (Strattera, a non-stimulant) and placebo.
ADHD rating scale scores were decreased by at least 30 percent in 80% of the group [...]

In a study by Rosenblum, et al. (2008), children with ADHD had poorer handwriting than non-ADHD children.   Additionally, when children with ADHD were off of their medication, they took an even longer time to copy a paragraph as compared to when they were on medication. 
Many parents will not be surprised at these study results. 
(That was my comment, [...]

Across 29 studies, St. John’s Wort was found to be more effective than placebo and just as effective as Prozac in treating mild to moderate depression. However, it should be noted that the researchers stated that some of the smaller German studies may have had “over-optimistic results”.
Keep in mind that in some countries, like Germany, [...]

The U.S. typically sees only one outbreak of measles every year, affecting 10 to 20 people. In the past seven months, there have been seven [...]
