Published on May 30, 2016

Are you looking for the causes of ADHD, also known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder? This video is a review of "A Disease Called Childhood: Why ADHD Became an American Epidemic" written by Dr. Marilyn Wedge. The author tells the story about how the pharmaceutical industry makes it easier and easier through different revisions of the DSM to become diagnosed with ADHD. Many children display the common symptoms, and some can be followed through to adult ADHD. Many parents put their children through rigorous ADHD tests to find out why their child is acting out, only wanting something to 'cure' their child. In this video, you will learn the answers to the following questions:

What is ADHD?
What causes ADHD?
What can I do to help someone with ADHD?
Why do some countries have higher rates of ADHD?

After reading this book, my view of the pharmaceutical company completely changed and I would recommend this book to anyone who may have been diagnosed with this mental illness or is looking to study psychiatry or child psychology. I hope you guys enjoyed the new background music, I think I'm going to keep it!
