Explanation:

Lo que dice esa madre, como muchas otras, es que a su hijo lo "hicieron drogar" porque le recetaron Ritalín, la famosa droga que, administrada bajo control médico, es un excelente medicamento para tranquilizar y ayudar a concentrarse a los niños con este trastorno (hiperactividad).
Igual que muchos otros medicamentos, el Ritalín ha sido juzgado como "peligroso" porque, tomado en GRANDES dosis, tiene efectos como disminución del apetito y dificultad para conciliar el sueño.

Pensándolo bien, creo que ALTERS puede ser un acrónimo de "Attentional Lability... Scale", pero no he podido encontrarlo. En todo caso, los psicólogos NO lo traducen, así que ¡¡no dejes que te afecte el ánimo!!
