Research challenges ADHD treatment
"New research has found there is little evidence that the drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) actually work or are safe in the long term.
"The Drug Effectiveness Review Project at Oregon State University conducted the study reviewing more than 2,000 studies into 16 drugs, including Ritalin and dexamphetamine.
"More than 50,000 children in Australia take stimulants like Ritalin or dexamphetamine for their ADHD, which makes this country the third highest consumer of these drugs in the world after the United States and Canada."

"Professor Vance is the leader of a research team looking at how children who suffer from ADHD may have a major brain dysfunction in the regions of the brain that help us to ignore distractions and maintain focus."
I still think that ADD ADHD is a load of crap. Apparently being shy is now a mental illness and can require medication.
