    A Must Read for Parents of Kids All Ages
  

*by M***G on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2016*

An incredible expose on the pharma industry and its push to make ADHD medications a multi-billion dollar business.  While i'm sure all pharma companies heavily promote their products, it just seems more seedy when the target customer is a kid and the product is an addictive medication.  Schwarz tells a gripping story, with the facts from the history of the diagnosis and the progression of the pharmacological treatments, to gripping stories of individual kids and adults who suffered from the after effects.  Schwarz is clear that many children and adults are rightfully diagnosed with ADHD and benefit greatly from treatment and medication.  The focus of the book is on two aspects: the over-diagnosis of the disorder; and the intentional mis-use or abuse of the medications for academic advancement.  The most chilling tales are all of the adolescents who abuse the medications and take them off-script to enhance their grades and/or get high.With an older child now entering middle school, I will be well aware of the warning signs if he tries to use amphetamines to improve his scholastic performance and just as importantly will be aware of the risks involved.  This book opened my eyes to what is happening in high schools and colleges around the country.  Fortunately my kids have been well behaved and are solid students so have not been on the ADHD spectrum, and now I am better prepared to address any issues that may come up as they reach the age where abuse of medication is more likely.

    He Nails it!
  

*by A***  on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2017*

Alan hits the nail on the head with what's happening in America and our kids.  As parents of a wonderful ADHD young man,  we struggled for years to get our son help.  My wife's a  wonderfully talented teacher and we worked together to get him the help he needed and thought the medicine was actually helping (it does remove symptoms!) but, in reality it was paint over rust sold to us by the amazingly strong, self-reinforcing ecosystem Schwarz details in his book.Everything I knew to be true about ADHD before I read the book were either in the book or I realized I was wrong after looking at more evidence.  I only wish I had this book to read 15 years ago.It's not the medicine isn't good for some,  it's that it's not good for the vast majority of kids and it is effectively "Paint over Rust"  Only in America will you get a pill first for and ADHD diagnosis, for when you're feeling down or when you can't sleep.  Much of America is being run over by our pharmaceutical companies looking to sell you another daily pill prescription rather than help you get fixed.
