Complain about a programme that I saw or heard. Type in Channel 4, it was aired on 18th August, The Great ADHD Myth. https://share.google/LVlbNKhshtof0PMn2
Here's what I wrote if it helps:
I would like to report this program on the grounds of:
1. The title - ADHD is not a myth. It is a condition many suffer from and have formal diagnoses for, so this is factually incorrect and misleading and purely branded as such to enrage a minority and embolden the sceptics.
2. Negligence - a child was taken off prescribed medication for the purpose of a TV Show without any thought or consideration for safeguarding.
3. Misleading - according to the credits this child went back on medication and his grades improved. Thus proving that lifestyle habits and parenting techniques only helped in certain aspects of his life but did not improve his academic performance and ultimate life skills.
4. Falsifying a diagnosis - The so-called expert doctor was diagnosed for a TV Show and took unprescribed medication to prove a point. This is grounds for malpractice and should be reported to GMC.
5. Lack of impartiality - this is a one sided documentary with not one ADHD specialist offering a counter argument and if you have seen the reaction on social media, there are many. Please offer a counter documentary to support those who have been adversely affected by this documentary.
6. Lack of care to a minority group - this is a group of people who already have low self worth and have suffered all their lives with this condition, feeling misunderstood, under represented, and unsupported. Channel 4 have not only invalidated them, they have used their very affliction to gain views and clicks and to justify a reduction in needed support.
Talk about punching down. Let's punch right back up ✊🏼❤️
