My dear, it is unimportant whether you are impressed by me but it ought be important that the previous diagnoses of ADHD have rested on the excerpt above and this new study implies that the current rush to treatment through psychotropic means may not be helping the “patient” at all but might even end up short-circuiting the natural development of the discovered region of the cortex affected.
I disagree. The studies I’ve read and the people I know with ADD/ADHD have had their lives improved by early intervention, as in actually being able to express themselves, organize their thoughts, reduction of anxiety and actually being fully functional as person. Again, it’s about brain wiring and the ADD’er is more internally trapped than it being a social behavior type thing.
I just put you in the “Burn the Witch” crowd.
