Are we in the midst of a medical crisis, or is something else going on?

  • Is ADHD is a real psychiatric disorder? If so, what causes it?
  • Are we too quick to diagnose energetic children? Are we over medicating?
  • Why do the rates of diagnosis vary greatly across the US?
  • What role do parents, doctors, schools, our culture, government policies, the economy, the healthcare system, media, advertising, and Big Pharma play in it all . . . and where is it all headed?

Leading experts STEPHEN HINSHAW, PhD, and RICHARD SCHEFFLER, PhD, tackle the tough questions on everybody’s minds and provide fact-based answers based on their research on the social, economic, and medical impact of ADHD on our society.

If you think that ADHD is simply an invention of mental health professionals and the pharmaceutical industry, then The ADHD Explosion will change your mind.
