Abstract
Cross-cultural research has placed in question the ADD/ADHD syndrome. Drugs for the treatment of ADD/ADHD may predispose children for depression and suicide. Dietary and behavioral research places new emphasis on cultural aspects of the etiology of high activity children. MRI studies of children's brains as evidence for this syndrome are variable and inconsistent and may be artifacts of limited comparative data and analytical procedures.
