A final limitation of stimulant treatment alone has to do with its applicability to home behavior problems. Many pharmacotherapists limit the use of stimulants to school hours during the 9 months of the academic year, to avoid growth and appetite suppression, sleep disruption, and other undesirable side effects. This leaves parents to their own devices to manage impulsive, oppositional, and disruptive behavior in the afternoons and evenings, weekends, and summers. When no other treatment is provided, parents frequently resort to coercive, hostile, and overly punitive interactions with their children, which may exacerbate rather than improve the child s behavioral problems. This is a par-... 

Fish provide numerous examples of other chemically mediated social behaviors. A dramatic example is the ability of many fish to home or return to a particular geographic location, most typically the site of their nativity. The chemical signals used in homing behavior have not been comprehensively identified but are thought to include both molecules of plant origin that are characteristic of the natal site as well as odorants, including bile acids, that derive from conspecific fish.136137... 

The therapist can also help the family by advising them of educational sources and available support groups, such as the local chapter of the Alzheimer s Disease Association, social service and home health agencies, assistance with home behavioral management, Meals-on-Wheels, transportation and recreational programs, and respite care. 

Nemzer et al.99 conducted a double-blind study in which they compared the effects of tryptophan (100 mg/kg/day) or placebo on 14 children with ADD with hyperactivity of 1-week trials. Tryptophan, while not significantly different from placebo on teachers ratings, was significantly better by parents ratings. This suggested that tryptophan may have some benefit in selected cases of ADD, primarily with home behavior problems.
