Summary The time has come for debunking ADHD and exposing how this invented disorder created to drug children that does not exist. Despite unanimous agreement that no test exists to identify ADHD, 6.4 million American children are labeled with ADHD. To make matters worse, approximately two-thirds of those children diagnosed with ADHD are prescribed drugs with many dangerous side effects, which include more serious mental disorders and death. After six decades of marketing stimulants and scaring parents into thinking something is seriously wrong with their highly creative, energetic, and communicative children, ADHD drug manufacturers still claim they have no idea what ADHD drugs actually do to children's brains. They make such claims when research shows ADHD drugs cause permanent brain damage in lab animals. How can children dream about achieving greatness, reach their full potenial, and release their creative imagination when they are drugged every day, year after year, to do the opposite? -- This book provides adults with the evidence to say no to ADHD, the help they need to raise slightly annoying children, and 10 Reasons to Stop Drugging Kids for Acting Like Kids! -- Book Cover
