ToyBox Radio: ADHD

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Welcome to our first broadcast. Chances are that you have heard or know someone who has ADD or ADHD.  It is also likely that you have a lot of questions … what is the difference between ADD and ADHD? How do you know for sure that your child has ADD and is not just a phase in the life of a healthy child? How can a child be inattentive but able to concentrate on a one hour video game? What is the true challenge of a child with ADHD?  Is there any relationship between ADHD and learning disability, anxiety or depression? Are medications the only way to go? What about “natural supplements”. Is there a cure? How do you know when the child is cured? What are the consequences of not treating a child with ADHD? Do adults have ADHD and can they pass it on to their children?

If these and similar questions have bothered you, then you have come to the right place. In episode one of ToyBox Radio, Dr. Henry Ukpeh takes his scalpel to ADHD, dissecting it into little intelligible pieces that paints a comprehensive picture of this phenomenon, giving you the confidence that comes with a good grasp of the subject matter.

You are welcome to send us your questions concerning this or any other topic you have ever wondered about here at ToyBoxRadio.
