图书简介
Is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the most prevalent neuropsychiatric label in children, a valid medical condition? Should we really refer to the millions of children diagnosed with ADHD as children who suffer from the "diabetes of psychiatry" — a chronic and harmful biological condition that must be treated regularly with powerful psychoactive substances? Building on previous critiques, this thorough, elegant, and mainly courageous book answers these questions through a step-by-step rebuttal of the scientific consensus about ADHD and its first-line treatment with stimulant medications.Although the book consists of high-resolution inspection of methodologies, research findings, and writing tactics, it is written in a clear, creative, and flowing way, using colorful examples — some funny, some tragic — which sweep the reader and inspire a societal change. Essentially, the book integrates key critiques into one consolidated source, uncovers the massive evidence against the efficacy and safety of stimulant medications, and provides future directions for socio-educational/parental solutions to this burning public-health problem. But most importantly, this book reviews dozens of dozens of reliability and validity gaps in the overriding (and somewhat aggressive) bio-medical consensus. In this way, the book serves as the missing needle that is required to finally pierce the over-blown, and already full of holes theoretical balloon, known as ADHD.
