Thoughts?

Well, I have not read the book, but the title is pretty clear.

I would not say that it does not exist, but I would venture to say that it may be over diagnosed.

I agree with that. I would say ADHD is the "disease du jour."

"Disease du jour" - good terminology for that. Just like "dysfunctional family" in the 80s, & "your erroneous zones" in the 70s.

I agree with this - back in the 90's when a child was disruptive in class, the problems were diagnosed too readily as being ADHD.

But their are children AND adults with this disorder and it does exist.

It exists, but I still think it's loosely over-diagnosed. My opinion, of course.

I consider "Viewpoints" to be my "erroneous zone".

It is like fibromyalgia. The doctor give this name to symptoms with no known cause. It satisfies the patient to be given a name to their discomfort. Many illnesses are given names. Disorders with no known reason or cure.

Anybody remember ""Chronic Fatigue Syndrome""?

You never hear about it now.

Was Yuban, then changed to Plaid Pants due to forum upgrade, and apparently, I'm back to being Yuban.
