Wgreen,

I couldn’t agree with you more. Here is the response of someone in a different forum:

I consider medicalizing childhood behaviors as a disorder and drugging these children to be a crime against their basic humanity… The news item below concerns people (read adults) who fake – “ADHD” Some do it for drugs and I believe others “fake it” because an ADD/ADHD diagnosis is a “Get Out of Taking Responsibility for Your Life”-Card.

I am posting this as a discussion — What do you think?
