In her provocative new book, New York Times-bestselling author Judith Warner explores the storm of debate over whether we are overdiagnosing and overmedicating our children who have "issues." In Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety, Judith Warner explained what's gone wrong with the culture of parenting, and her conclusions sparked a national debate on how women and society view motherhood. Her new book, We've Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of Medication, will generate the same kind of controversy, as she tackles a subject that's just as contentious and important: Are parents and physicians too quick to prescribe medi­cation to control our children's behavior? Are we using drugs to excuse inept parents who can't raise their children properly? What Warner discovered from the extensive research and interviewing she did for this book is that passion on both sides of the issue "is ideological and only tangentially about real children," and she cuts through the jargon and hysteria to delve into a topic that for millions of parents involves one of the most important decisions they'll ever make for their child. Insightful, compelling, and deeply mov­ing, We've Got Issues is for parents, doctors, and teachers-anyone who cares about the welfare of today's children.

First off, let me start by saying congratulations! By picking up this book, you've already taken the first step on an incredible journey. A journey that, I promise you, is more exciting than finding money in your old coat pocket and more rewarding than finally mastering the art of parallel parking. Now, I know what you might be thinking. "Another self-help book? Isn't this just going to tell me to do yoga, drink green smoothies, and journal my feelings?" Well, hold onto your skepticism, my friend, because this isn't your average, run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter guide to inner peace. This book is a rollercoaster ride through the landscape of human emotions - but don't worry, it's the kind of rollercoaster that's more exhilarating than terrifying, and you won't need a barf bag (though keep some tissues handy, because we might hit you in the feels a few times). What's In Store for You? In the pages that follow, we're going to embark on a grand adventure. We'll traverse the peaks of joy, wade through the valleys of sorrow, and navigate the winding paths of everything in between. Along the way, we'll: Explore the art of letting go (spoiler alert: it's not just about decluttering your closet) Learn how to embrace change without feeling like you're free-falling without a parachute Discover how to love yourself, flaws and all (yes, even that weird thing you do when you're nervous) Master the ninja-like skills of emotional resilience And ultimately, find a path to true emotional freedom (no, this doesn't mean you'll never feel sad again - we're aiming for freedom, not robotic indifference) Who is This Book For? This book is for you if: You've ever felt stuck, like you're running on a hamster wheel of emotions You find yourself replaying arguments in your head, coming up with perfect comebacks weeks too late Your emotional baggage is so heavy, you'd have to pay extra if emotions were airlines You want to feel more in control of your reactions, instead of feeling like a puppet to your feelings You're ready for a change, but the idea of change also makes you want to hide under your blanket You're curious about this whole "emotional freedom" thing, but you're pretty sure it's just for monks and people who do yoga at 5am In other words, this book is for humans. Imperfect, messy, beautiful humans who are doing their best to navigate this wild ride we call life. A Word of Warning Now, I feel it's my duty to warn you: this journey isn't always going to be easy. There will be moments when you'll want to throw this book across the room (please don't, unless you're reading the e-book version, in which case, throw away). There will be times when you'll face uncomfortable truths about yourself. You might cry. You might laugh. You might do both at the same time and worry about your sanity. But here's the thing: that's all part of the process. Growth isn't always comfortable, but it's always worth it. And I promise you, the view from the other side is spectacular. My Promise to You As we embark on this journey together, here's what I promise you: I will be honest with you, even when it's uncomfortable I will challenge you, but I will never leave you hanging I will share real, practical strategies that you can apply in your everyday life I will respect your intelligence and won't sugar-coat things I will do my best to make this journey not just enlightening, but also enjoyable (prepare for dad jokes and pop culture references) Are You Ready? So, dear reader, are you ready to embark on this adventure? Are you ready to laugh, to cry, to grow, and to discover a version of yourself that's freer and more authentically you than you ever thought possible?
