Actually I misspoke.
It is not the diagnoses so much I have problems with so much as the treatment.
So long as the treatment is not worse than the disease.
ADHD is so obviously culturally mediated.
I must look up the stats from different countries for ADHD. Including non western countries.
I read today that a change in the DSM led to a 200% increase in treatment in a very short time here.
These are my concerns as a parent. (Speaking personally, I would like some amphetamine treatment for myself.) Also as a parent I can imagine how appallingly difficult this is for Solstice.
