ADHD is linked to pesticides per this article, that is, the "severe inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity characteristic of ADHD". This is reverse propaganda by phony association.
Pesticides may well cause undesirable symptoms related to mental focus. But that is toxic poisoning not ADHD, a "mental health disease". Actually disease is pathological and the mental ailments is psychological.
The symptoms of disinterest and nervous hysteria in school kids is an observation to handle. It doesn't mean "ADHD". Saying this bogus mental health disease is linked back to the symptoms is oxymoron. It assumes a cause and a treatment, neither of which has any basis in fact.
From an article in Biological Psychology it is easy to see how non-sequitur the psychiatric solution:
"... low social class, family conflict, and paternal criminality may be effects of the same genes that cause ADHD rather than independent causes of the disorder. ... found in ADHD children implicate executive functions and working memory"
Roll out the psychotropic drug prescriptions, that'll handle it.
Using the generic psyche-name for those symptoms caused by something else is a dereliction of duty. The something else can be the physiological reactions to study, which does have a scientific basis in fact. It also can be caused by bad nutrition, the kind being served in school lunches, as verified by astute physicians. This new study links it to pesticides, that is to say, toxic nutrition.
Whatever it is, you have to correctly identify cause to derive a proper remedy. Don't let your child be put on narcotics by the school psyche because he or she has "severe inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity". Get a real doctor or naturopathic physician to check it out. An "MD" psychiatrist doesn't count; he's been trained to inflict pain and unconsciousness as a therapy in name only. Finding the child's misunderstood words from his studies might save you the health care expense.
