Dr. Frances is one of the good guys, was chairman of DSM4 group and the loudest critic of DSM5, which makes everything a "disease" to be treated with drugs. Most of the DSM5 participants also worked for drug companies.

How many will go on to be mass killers, ala Columbine, etc.?

Dr. Frances has a regular column at HuffPo, and he’s brilliantly readable.
You can find out more about him at, of all places:

I also liked his April editorial, “No Child Left Undiagnosed.”

Some children — I don’t know about toddlers — do require pharmaceutical treatment for ADHD. A newer drug, Strattera, is used for that purpose and is not a stimulant.

ADHD= Avoiding Discipline-Helping Delinquents

99% of ADHD can be cured with a smack on the arse.

I hate to nitpick, but ... YOUNG toddlers ? Really ? YOUNG ones ?

Giving uppers to toddlers strikes me as like throwing gasoline on a fire.

From experience with our son, the parents need to eliminate all processed foods. No artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives, etc. No low-fat, low-cal, fat-free, diet anything. 100% whole wheat. No fruit juices. Real food is the key. Combine dietary changes with extra exercise and physical stimulation during learning time and the kids will thrive. Also, a high quality multi vitamin and extra D, B, and omega 3s.

We chose to spank our kids, instead of drugging them.
