Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is the source of much controversy. Some people feel it is over-diagnosed today, while others believe it was under-diagnosed in the past. Similarly, disagreements about treatment methods, especially whether or not a child should be given medication for it, have been ongoing for years. Sometimes these arguments are fueled by misinformation, and those who are affected by ADHD may have difficulty making their voices heard. Through full-color photographs, engaging sidebars, and quotes from experts in the field, this volume explores all sides of the issue, helping readers form their own opinions.
