Episode notes

A big controversy is can you diagnose ADHD in a 3 or 4 year old in preschool? Well, half the boys in the world at three and four because boys brains are slower to develop than girls. There's potential for that kid to develop into a kid who's going to show a lot of signs of delinquency later on. So it's how severe are the problems and how much of a problem or disability do they incur even under the best of circumstances?"

Ever since he was diagnosed as a kid, Adam has wondered if ADHD is a serious psychological condition, or a false diagnosis pushed by an overzealous industry. This week Dr. Stephen Hinshaw, Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley is on the show to help answer these questions.
