| Welcome to DocDiller.com |
Dear Visitor,
Perhaps it was one of my books, Running on Ritalin, Should I Medicate My Child? or my latest, The Last Normal Child,that led you to this site. Or perhaps it was one of my appearances or a net search for information about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Ritalin or psychiatric drug use in children. In any event I am glad you are here. Follow the links below to learn the latest about ADHD, Ritalin, and effective non-drug treatments too. My site has been expanded to cover a wide range of subjects on child behavior and treatment. I now offer a new service of telephone consultations for families who live outside the Bay Area (see the right hand column, second item). You can also try emailing me a question though I am often too inundated to answer quickly or in depth. Oh, don't forget to add your email address to my mailing list for the latest updates and information about important subjects. And please cast your vote in the latest survey. Thanks again for stopping by,
Larry Diller, M.D.

ECG's, ADHD, Ritalin...Oh My!
|
On April 21st, the American Heart Association (AHA) shocked families and professionals alike when it recommended that all kids that take or may take Ritalin should have an electrocardiogram (ECG). Stimulant drugs like Ritalin, Concerta and Adderall have been used in children for ADHD for 70 years. Why this recommendation now -- and should you get one for your child if he/she takes one of these drugs?
