In the second paragraph you are going to identify and explain the behaviors and/or factors which DO NOT align with the ADHD diagnosis. It is those behaviors or factors which let you know Charlie is not suffering from ADHD. In both paragraphs write academically and cite sources in both paragraphs. Cite the case study in the second paragraph as well.
Risks of Overprescribed ADHD Medication
