Janice Turner ADHD column sparks backlash
Original: Janice Turner's ADHD column sparks backlash
Times columnist Janice Turner is facing criticism over a column about ADHD, with many readers accusing her of downplaying the condition and stigmatising those diagnosed with it. Critics, including people with ADHD and mental health advocates, say the piece misrepresents the science and adds to stigma, while some defenders argue she raises fair questions about overdiagnosis.
Why now: A prominent columnist publicly questioning ADHD diagnoses has reignited debate about the condition and stigma.
