So many teenagers today feel tired. Some causes of excessive tiredness, like lack of sleep and improper sleep hygiene, can be easy to remedy. However, other causes, like digestive
problems, hormonal changes, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), may require more serious care.
If your teen has been struggling with fatigue and lack of energy for months, you know it can be miserable. And discouraging. In Tired Teens, Dr. Fischer explains how to identify the
warning signs and symptoms of chronic fatigue in teens, helping you determine if your teen’s excessive tiredness is simply a symptom of a busy schedule or the result of an unexpected disorder, like autonomic dysfunction and POTS.
The book provides expert advice on receiving an evaluation and a diagnosis for adolescent fatigue, and outlines different treatment plans available to those diagnosed
with chronic fatigue and POTS. Along the way, Dr. Fischer’s expertise is accompanied by real-life stories of POTS and practical input from nurses who work alongside him.
In Dr. Fischer’s careful and compassionate words, you’ll find hope for true healing and the potential for a complete and lasting recovery.
