But think back to that controversial statement in Martine Hoogman\u2019s 2017 paper. She wrote that it was important to interpret the Enigma data as confirmation that A.D.H.D. patients \u201chave altered brains,\u201d because that biological explanation would \u201chelp to reduce the stigma of A.D.H.D.\u201d But does portraying A.D.H.D. as a \u201cdisorder of the brain\u201d actually reduce its stigma? Might it not, in fact, <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">increase<\/em> a young person\u2019s sense of shame and isolation to be told they have a brain disorder?<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An Australian psychologist named Luise Kazda has studied this very question. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamanetworkopen\/fullarticle\/2778451\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In a 2021 review paper<\/a>, she and her colleagues found 14 studies in which receiving an A.D.H.D. diagnosis created a sense of \u201cempowerment\u201d by \u201csupporting a sense of legitimacy accompanied by understanding and sympathy as well as decreased guilt, blame and anger.\u201d But in 22 other studies, Kazda wrote, \u201ca biomedical view of difficulties was shown to be associated with disempowerment. By providing an excuse for problems, a decrease in responsibility by all involved can occur, often followed by inaction and stagnation.\u201d An additional 14 studies found that the diagnosis increased feelings of stigmatization. \u201cThe diagnosis can create an identity that enhances prejudice and judgment,\u201d Kazda reported, \u201cwhich are associated with even greater feelings of isolation, exclusion and shame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It\u2019s still not entirely clear why the simple act of providing a diagnosis of A.D.H.D. seems to have such profound effects on some children and their families. But it is certainly true that under the medical model, a diagnosis sends a very different message than it does under a model like Sonuga-Barke\u2019s, which sees a person\u2019s A.D.H.D. symptoms as, at least in part, the product of a mismatch with a particular environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For some parents, it may indeed be less stigmatizing, and more comfortable, to be able to say, \u201cMy child has A.D.H.D., a medical condition, so he needs to take this medicine every day,\u201d rather than, \u201cI want my kid to succeed in environments for which he\u2019s not well suited, so therefore I want him to take these pills.\u201d For many children, however, a diagnosis of A.D.H.D. that is communicated via the dominant medical model can feel like more than a stigma; it can feel like a life sentence. The message to children is often that A.D.H.D. is a binary, biological category, and if your symptoms place you in that category, your brain has a deficit, and you have a disorder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The alternative model, by contrast, tells a child a very different story: that his A.D.H.D. symptoms exist on a continuum, one on which we all find ourselves; that he may be experiencing those symptoms as much because of where he is as because of who he is; and that next year, if things change in his surroundings, those symptoms might change as well. Armed with that understanding, he and his family can decide whether medication makes sense \u2014 whether for him, the benefits are likely to outweigh the drawbacks. At the same time, they can consider whether there are changes in his situation, at school or at home, that might help alleviate his symptoms. If he is also experiencing other psychological conditions \u2014 anxiety or depression or post-traumatic stress \u2014 they can take steps to address those deeper issues, independent of his inability to focus in math class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/13\/magazine\/adhd-medication-treatment-research.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That might sound a little mushy \u2014 that the point of A.D.H.D. treatment is to help you build relationships and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[4994,4992,1068,5990,2357,1623,268,4993,933],"class_list":["post-19137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science","tag-adderall-drug","tag-attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder","tag-brain","tag-learning-disabilities","tag-parenting","tag-psychiatry-and-psychiatrists","tag-research","tag-ritalin-drug","tag-teenagers-and-adolescence"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Have We Been Thinking About A.D.H.D.
