Generation Medicated: The Truth About ADHD and Over-the-Counter Drugs
Dr. Chris Van Tulleken investigates a startling reality: we are giving our children 3.5 times more medicine than we did 40 years ago. From the multi-million pound "Calpol culture" to the 800% explosion in ADHD prescriptions, this documentary asks: are we treating our children, or just their behavior? We go behind the corporate marketing of household brands and follow six children with ADHD as they attempt a world-first experiment: replacing Methylphenidate (Ritalin) with mindful meditation.
