Misdiagnosing ADHD

I’ve been saying all along that “authorities” have been using ADHD diagnoses to take control of children who are simply being children. This study confirms that. A diagnosis of ADHD is almost guaranteed when unusual activity is noted on the part of the child. That activity may or may not be due to ADHD, but doctors routinely call it that and prescribe expensive and harmful drugs these children don’t need, and which may injure them. Worse, the child might, instead of TAKING the drug, sell it to other children because the drug in use for ADHD is the “drug of choice” for some school children. (WebMD)
