Medicalization, Childhood, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, MediaAbstract
The aim is to analyze research results in seven countries in Asia, America, Europe and Oceania, to know which social actors are represented in the media on ADHD, in what ways and with what effects. We support the argument in three axes: ADHD as a paradigmatic example of the medicalization of children's mental health; ADHD in childhood as a global diagnosis; and the media as a relevant non-medical actor in the globalization of ADHD diagnosis. A corpus of 28 pieces of specific bibliography (books, book chapters and scientific articles) was formed. We consider the contributions of the medicalization of society as a theoretical-conceptual reference. The multiplicity of media discourses about ADHD in children, and the articulation of non-medical social actors in the processes of global medicalization of ADHD are discuss.
