But as I said in another post, just because Ritalin is overused does not mean that the illness does not. Again - what about adult sufferers of ADHD?

This is a very real condition. To say that mental health professionals have no credibility is naive. Do you think there is no such thing as mental illness?

Honey, really, you are way, way out of your league on this one.

I can name for you countless cases where mental health professionals have made gross misdiagnoses and destroyed people and their families for personal and financial gain.

Other than the obvious example of the American Psychological Association publishing in their journal the ridiculous claim children suffer no long term effects from sexual abuse, there was also the book The Courage To Heal. The book's authors, Ellen Bass and Laura Davis, make the astonishing claim that EVERYONE has been sexually abused. If you say you have not, you either have repressed memory or you are in denial. I cannot tell you how many lives have been destroyed by that worthless waste of trees that is not fit to line birdcages with.
