Summary
It seemed like an easy answer. If a child was diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-ADHD-give him Ritalin and all would be better. The answer-and the condition-turned out not to be that easy. Recreational Ritalin: The Not-So-Smart Drug provides an overview of ADHD and the drug most often prescribed to treat the condition. This book provides you with a description of other drugs like Ritalin and their effects, good and bad. You will also learn about ADHD and the controversy surrounding its diagnosis and treatment.
