Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Martin Whitfield (Labour), on Thursday, 22 March 2018, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 32 members in total.
PORTRAYAL OF ADHD AND ITS TREATMENT
That this House notes the documentary, Take Your Pills, which has been distributed by Netflix; expresses its strong concern about what it sees as the programme's unbalanced portrayal of ADHD and its treatment; further notes the recent publication of updated NICE guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of the condition and Royal College of Psychiatrists in Scotland's, ADHD in adults: good practice guidelines; and further notes the views that there is a need for a more informed understanding of the condition across the country and that taking prescribed medication to treat diagnosed neuro-developmental disorders and mental health conditions is as legitimate as taking prescribed medication to treat physical illness.
