ADHD Is Over!
A film about peeling off the label
What if ADHD was not a disorder, but rather a set of traits of a type of brain that functions differently than the non-ADHD brain? What if ADHD is genetic and handed down by generations of hunters? What if all ADHD is, is a condition caused by a society that tries to fit hunters into a farmer's world? The label "ADHD" has run its course.
