What exactly is ADHD and why have diagnosis rates exploded? Is there a scientific basis for defining a set of childhood behaviours as a disorder and do children actually benefit from current treatments? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed childhood psychiatric disorders in the Western world. The Australian Government estimates over 350, 000 children are affected, with over 57, 000 medicated for the disorder. Speed Up and Sit Still explores the origins and development of ADHD and the various players in the debate. Bound to be controversial, it is a must-read for all parents, teachers and medical practitioners.
