Warum ADHS keine Krankheit ist

ADHD is not an organic illness. It is a conglomerate of behaviors perceived as disruptive by society. In several European countries, increasingly one in four children is diagnosed with ADHD and often treated with prescription stimulants. These stimulants are addictive drugs that are therapeutically ineffective. Long-term studies show that a history of ADHD diagnosis and treatment in childhood can adversely affect later development.

This book attempts to shed light on the current handling of ADHD. ADHD is not an immutable condition; particularly psychological and educational measures can restore control to all those affected and help reduce suffering. "Why ADHD is Not a Disease" advocates for the abolition of ADHD as a medical diagnosis and its transfer to the realm of education. However, this requires a change in home and school living conditions as well as complementary therapeutic approaches.

The target audience includes teachers, doctors, therapists, as well as parents and individuals affected who wish to engage intensively with the topic.
