Frontline Interviews about ADHD-from 2001 Interviews that reflect the diversity of opinion about ADHD. Note that one of the persons who is against the diagnosis and use of medication for ADHD in the Frontline Series is associated with the Church of Scientology. Scientology has had a long-running battle with the American Psychiatric Association, and has attacked Prozac as well as Ritalin. There is an uneveness to these interviews.  There are some extremely good authorities mixed with those who have no standing in the scientific community.
