ADHD and Me with Rory Bremner
Comedian and impressionist Rory Bremner is on a personal mission to uncover the science of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), a condition which he has suspected he has. In this film, Rory learns about the science of ADHD, goes for a diagnosis and tries the drug methylphenidate (also known as Ritalin) for the first time - just before walking on stage.
Around three per cent of the adult population suffer from ADHD (and five per cent of children), yet many people remain sceptical of its existence, blaming it on naughty children or bad parenting. This film looks for the solid scientific evidence that ADHD does exist as a distinct disorder in the brain and the implications for those people suffering from it. In Rory's case, he believes that the random associations it throws up feed his comedy.
