@Judi, if you want to berate me for my feelings on ADHD, that’s your prerogative. I chose not to have children for personal reasons, and if you must pray for something, pray for some humility and wisdom, it might help. I have spent plenty of time with mentally ill adults over the last two decades, so you can’t judge me on what you think of my response to the difficulties they face. Well, you can judge me if you like, but what you think of me personally doesn’t mean shit to me. You are merely a font on my computer screen. You could be a bot for all I know, or care.
While ADD might be an actual disease, I have read enough scientific articles on ADHD to see that it is the most misdiagnosed disease out there, and to the point that it might not even be a real disease. Such misdiagnoses are even more common than bipolar disorder, which has been misdiagnosed almost 200% in the last decade.
@YARNLADY, I subscribe to two of the latest medical journals that deal with mental disorders, so you aren’t telling me anything new I haven’t already read. There is no complete proof of the disease, and much of what is put forth has yet to be independently verified. ADHD is like Global Warming, or as it should be called, Climate Change. There isn’t enough proof to verify we know exactly what is happening.
