Hyperactivity and Attention Deficit
No. 80 JANUARY 2018
Our children are growing up in a dangerous paradigm: reaction to constant stimuli has replaced time to stop and think. Parents and teachers are faced with diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). But how many are real? In a country where five million packs of psychotropic drugs were prescribed for young people under the age of 15 in 2016, it is time to stop and think about the clinical approach to ADHD. How can it be dealt with in an integrated manner and how can the unique response cycle of the medication be halted? In an essay that goes to the origins of the problem, Pedro Strecht points out alternatives for the thousands of Portuguese who live with ADHD every day.
