    59: Patrick Hahn | ADHD and Medicalization of Childhood

    In this conversation, Nick interviews Dr. Patrick Hahn--author of multiple books, including Obedience Pills--about the nature of an ADHD diagnosis, the way that the public has been misled about it, and the problems with the most common treatments for it. Nick boldly asserts that the way that ADHD diagnoses halt the search for an actual condition explaining inattentiveness and impulsivity, and the quick prescriptions of stimulant drugs for children is a crime against humanity that we will look back upon shamefully.
