Putting a human face on a condition that affects millions.

Jacob Klompstra has lived with ADHD his whole life, but was only recently diagnosed and suddenly his life made sense and he wrote a book about it. This documentary introduces the 'face' of adult ADHD and broaches this controversial topic while it highlights the need for further education, as this condition is real, physical and it affects 3-5 out of every 100 people on the globe. It starts in childhood but doesn't disappear, and there is a genuine need for accurate diagnosis, where oftentimes it takes place by unqualified individuals. The documentary includes an interview with an expert in the field. Part Dutch with English subtitles.—Anonymous
