Fellow Adders I just read a troubling article about the ADHD ‘scheme’. This article tells of a lawsuit against the pharmaceutical industry, basically saying that they have expanded this disorder (ADHD) to sell their medicine to as many children as possible, even normal children.

ADD and ADHD are misunderstood with so many misconceptions out there and those that suffer from it are sometimes considered to be [...]

I don’t want to count the years that have passed, it’s been a few, probably more than a few—more than a decade, could be two or three, but I remember those nights as clearly as if I was still there, sitting in the dark, nothing there, the TV off and no music playing—just me and [...]

The Contradiction of ADD ADHD part 1
October 29th, 2007 · 1 Comment · 02 My thoughts Positive, 03 ADD ADHD Fraud
People with ADD and ADHD seem to contradict themselves. At least that’s a perception I believe the general public has and a major reason why many think the disorder is bogus.

Is ADD ADHD over Diagnosed? Part 1
September 5th, 2007 · 1 Comment · 03 ADD ADHD Fraud
This is what I think:
I think ADD/ADHD is “-under-“diagnosed. I think there are far, far more suffers out there that have no idea why they act and think the way they do and what’s worse is that many of those suffers might have already been explained what ADD/ADHD is, but would rather suffer than admit they [...]
