ADHD
Dr Chetna Kang and Sophie Sulehria focus on ADHD
It is thought that ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder affects between 2% - 5% of school aged children in the UK.
The diagnosis has been around for almost 30 years. But there is still a debate about whether it actually exists or if it's just an excuse for bad behaviour.
This week Sophie Sulehria and Dr Chetna Kang debate the issue with a panel of experts and parents whose children have the condition.
