Doctors claim Lindsay Lohan was misdiagnosed for drug addiction and bipolar disorder: report

Despite entering rehab for a reported addiction to methamphethamine and bipolar disorder, Lindsay Lohan may not have those problems after all.

According to TMZ.com, doctors who have evaluated the troubled starlet at UCLA's Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Westwood believe she was misdiagnosed.

Lohan, 24, has reportedly been "weaned off" all six of her medications, including Dilaudid, Ambien, Adderall, Zoloft, Trazodone and Nexium. Not only has she not shown any adverse reactions to the absence of her meds, but Lohan has also not had any withdrawal symptoms to the void of alcohol, TMZ reported.

Doctors at the substance abuse program purportedly believe Judge Marsha Revel "overreacted" when she ordered Lohan to stay at the facility for 90 days. Last month, Revel excused herself from the case.

Furthermore, docs have reportedly concluded that Lohan does not have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), the condition that granted her a prescription for Adderall.

TMZ is a site run be weasels and, assuming that there is any truth to their article, the medical professionals who leaked the material should face discipline/disbarment.

She’s just a drunk/pill head not a alcoholic/addict.
