All in the Mind - 17/06/2008

Claudia Hammond presents the series exploring current developments in psychology and psychiatry. Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD are rarely asked what they think about the stigma or the drugs they take. But on this week's All In The Mind, children have their say. The number of children who are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, has risen hugely in the UK, but what's striking in all the research is that children who have the condition are rarely asked what they think. Claudia Hammond hears from youngsters about the stigma and bullying associated with having ADHD and how they feel about the drugs they take.
