ADHD doesn’t exist, new book argues

Diagnoses of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, are becoming increasingly common – the number of US children diagnosed, for example, has risen by more than 40 per cent in the past decade. Many are prescribed drugs to deal with their symptoms. But what if this trend is misguided? Dr Richard Saut, a neurologist with over 50 years’ experience treating ADHD, thinks so – he’s just written a book titled “ADHD Doesn’t Exist”. The picture shows children at a treatment camp for the condition.
