Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3.1MB
Overview: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most controversial and misunderstood medical conditions today. With skyrocketing rates of diagnosis and medication treatment, it has generated a firestorm of controversy. Alarming questions have been raised about ADHD in recent years, including:
*Why are one in nine children and adolescents in the U.S. now diagnosed with ADHD, with projected rates still rising?
*Why are nearly 70% of those diagnosed with ADHD prescribed medication?
*What is causing the fast-rising diagnosis and medication of adults? And why are over a quarter of all college students using stimulants for academic performance?
*In some southern states, why are boys over 9 years old diagnosed at rates of almost one in three?
*Can we trust the stories we read and hear about ADHD, even in major media outlets?
*What is driving the current ADHD explosion–is it parents, doctors, schools, culture, the healthcare system, or Big Pharma? And will it end?
