Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most
diagnosed childhood disorder in Australia. Most of us now know someone,
or someone’s child, who has been diagnosed with ADHD. Reports on
television current affairs shows often portray the impact of the
hyperactive and inattentive behaviour associated with ADHD. At the same
time, there’s ongoing controversy about potential ADHD over-diagnosis
and its treatment with psychostimulant medication. But ultimately, the
“is ADHD real” debate is about blame. It results in either blaming
parents for not disciplining their child or professionals who should be
doing more to help. The result is a deadlock with a lot of spent energy
and very little positive difference. http://theconversation.edu.au/we-need-a-different-national-conversation-about-adhd-9289 |
