Abstract

ADHD is today the most frequently diagnosed mental health condition among children and adolescents. The common belief is that it is a mental illness, and doctors and psychiatrists have solid scientific evidence to make the diagnosis and provide safe and effective psychopharmacological treatment. However, the scientific literature does not support this belief so widespread in our society. The article reviews the historical way in which this belief has been constructed and analyzes a scientific article that supposedly supports this way of approaching the behavioral and emotional problems of children of our times. The conclusion is that society today has no evidence to support this belief.
