This lesson explores the assessment of psychological disorders through medical and biopsychosocial models. It discusses the implications of labeling disorders, including positive aspects and stigmas, referencing notable studies like Rosenhan's hospital experiment. Students will evaluate the legitimacy of ADHD as a disorder, analyze its diagnosis rates, and consider treatment options such as Ritalin and Adderall, including potential side effects. We will also discuss the Hunter vs. Farmer hypothesis, the historical context of ADHD, and the broader implications of labeling psychological conditions.
