Cultural influencers in ADHD diagnosis #42

Open CooperNederhood opened 5 years ago

CooperNederhood commented 5 years ago

Thanks for your research! Youth diagnoses of ADHD are a common example of an overly medicated United States, and there can be a lot of cultural values tied up in "treating" an attention deficit youth. You note that ADHD could be thought of as a continuum rather than an all-or-nothing diagnosis which kind of relates to this point. But I was hoping you could elaborate on the implications of ascribing a quantitative, subjective measure to something that has a lot of societal baggage. Thanks!

I think this is a super interesting point, esp. considering the societal and cultural baggage ADHD brings with its name!
