I had ADD/ADHD/WTF_EVER, then mom made me run around the house 10-20 times and I would be magically cured.
""In the US, the pre-eminent advocacy group for people with ADHD is CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). In the 20042005 financial year (year ended 30 June 2005), 22% of CHADD's total revenue came from the pharmaceutical industry [16]. CHADD undertakes educational programs for teachers [18], including acting as the lead editorial consultant of a special issue on ADHD in Health in Action, a quarterly publication of the American School Health Association [19].

Overdiagnosis has depreciated condition. ADHD is not only about "not paying attention" there are many more symptoms.
Nothing else.

Bump for later.
DRUG FREE ZONE (Except Ritalin may be administered as often as teachers request)
I'm sure there are people who are helped with ADD. I don't think it is a good thing to drug millions of kids. Their brains are still growing, and they're being fed stimulants. I know adults who say they have this. MANY. Just like years ago, when a similar number said they were molested. Satanic rituals and everything. Not buying it. Let boys be boys. Sorry.

When I was a kid, it was male kids bored out of their minds.
I'll update it to today:
Boys in school bored out of their minds, not allowed to run around like crazy at recess, not allowed to tackle each other and roughouse to burn of natural boy energy, bored to tears with PC BS stuff, wandering away daydreaming, until their energy bursts and they throw a pencil.
Today's government schools are so anti boy, that their natural instincts can't be suppressed, and they end up on drugs so they behave more like girls.
Drugging our boys into feminsit ideals.
EDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCE AS DEFINED BY FEMINIST GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.
Sorry about the anger, but it is total BS.
Outcome based grades.
What is the ratio of boys to girls diagnosed with ADD, or ADHD, or normal boy syndrome, or whatever they call it?
Boys get drugged now from early years, numbed through school so they don't shout out answers and throw pencils.
Grrrrr...time to take my Ritalin, right?
I am an adult with ADD. My productivity is double what it is when I go untreated. This is real folks.
There is another insidious reason for classifying all these children with various disorders. The families then become eligible for SSI benefits.
