ADHD nation : the disorder, the drugs, the inside story
Schwarz, Alan, 1968-2016
Book
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is now the most common chronic condition among children, surpassing asthma. Yet research shows that ADHD can't be that prevalent. ADHD, a problem once thought to affect a small percentage of children, has exploded into one of the most misdiagnosed psychiatric conditions. Now, in the US, doctors and big pharma are targeting adults to get the diagnosis and take medications that will 'transform their lives'. In 'ADHD Nation', Alan Schwarz takes readers behind the scenes to tell the full story of this billion-dollar industry.
