ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a behavioral condition that causes difficulties paying attention and focusing on tasks. This frequently diagnosed disorder begins in childhood and can continue into adulthood. The most common method of treating ADHD is with stimulant medications like Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall, and Dexedrine. Our articles from publications and scientific journals explore the controversies surrounding ADHD, particularly regarding medication, misdiagnosis and children.
