Originally presented as a segment of the television program: The Merrow report.
Also known as: A.D.D., a dubious diagnosis? The Ritalin crisis?
Editor, Daniel J. Bernstein ; executive producer, John Merrow.
Host, John Merrow.
This program examines the hidden factors that have created a childhood A.D.D. epedimic. The causes include pressure on parents and schools, misinformation about the disorder, and advocacy by the nation's largest support group, Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder. Is the increase in A.D.D. a natural occurrence or a man-made epidemic? Also questions the widespread use of the drug Ritalin to treat A.D.D. children.
