Abstract
Why are so many children today seen as having ADHD - attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder? There are some deeply disturbed children, who need medical and psychological help, but thousands of others are also being diagnosed with ADHD and many have drug treatment for it. Yet in the past, they would not have been seen as sick. This article looks at what ADHD means, likely reasons for the rise in reported ADHD rates, and ways to tackle the problems.
