Medications help children and adolescents with pain, anxiety, sleep and concentration problems. However, they can themselves become a danger if therapeutic support leads to undetected dependence. Especially in adolescence, this process often proceeds quietly, legally, and goes unrecognized for a long time. This reference...

Learning disorders are among the most overlooked phenomena in child and adolescent development-and at the same time among the most misunderstood. Although modern neuroscience, psychology, and education have long shown that reading, writing, and math difficulties are expressions of neurocognitive diversity, myths persist in...
