Psychology Today published this article. It provides an entirely different approach to understanding and treating ADHD. For example:
“In the United States, at least 9% of school-aged children have been diagnosed with ADHD, and are taking pharmaceutical medications. In France, the percentage of kids diagnosed and medicated for ADHD is less than .5%.
