It’s BS; period.

If they continue dosing these kids with the idea of making them fit the mold until such time as the cortex finishes development they have compounded their crime, IMO.

Nope,
it’s not BS...
Too many brain scan show otherwise.

No, as a parent of a child with ADHD, I can tell you that it's not.

It is overdiagnosed, and it is over medicated. But it's NOT BS.

My son is now 18 and still deals with some issues of his ADHD. We stopped meds way back when he hit puberty and, if we had it to do over, would probably not have done the meds at all.

But the condition is real.
