Channel: The Rewired Soul
Date: 06/03/2018

The misdiagnosis of childhood ADHD is a growing problem according to the investigative journalist Alan Schwarz who is the author of ADHD Nation. What's really going on though? Why is it that the APA states that only 5% of children have ADHD but 15% are diagnosed and given medications like Adderall and Ritalin. 

We'll discuss some of the real causes of ADHD, the effects of adderall on the brain for people with ADHD as well as mindfulness meditation for ADHD and more.

Please watch and share.
