CONTROVERSY

  • Under diagnosis
  • Parents pushing too hard for a diagnosis
  • No physical test or single cause for ADHD
  • Who can draw the line between normal and difficult behavior?

QUESTIONS

  • Are electronics the main cause for increase in ADHD?
  • What are your thoughts on medication for ADHD? What about only medicating during the school year?
