Why Nearly 1 in 4 Adults Who Seek Treatment Don’t Have ADHD

IF physicians are prescribing meds to people who do not require them, then it is the physician who is the fraud. Either they don't know anything about ADHD or they just prescribe to keep consumers around. This is a very real and often debilitating disorder.

My brothers and I were diagnosed as adults with ADD, but never were we offered medications for it. My son was diagnosed with ADD, and the only ones who wanted him to take medication were his teachers! Not one doctor recommended medication.

How could a psychiatrist tell if some one is faking or not? They actually have no way of diagnosing ADHD in the first place. All they have is opinions and this is used to sell tons of profitable addictive drugs!

There are places to get complete thorough evaluation for ADHD for both children and adults.One place in Minnesota is the Twin Cities ADHD clinic. Lastly for your information ADHD medications are not addictive but they certainly can be abused like any medication. Pain medications are more misused than ADHD medications.Do not believe everything you read on the internet.

maybe they just took a caffeine tablet infused into one of those really good vitamins-not the 200 tablet for $5.

Arrrg.. having spent many years AVOIDING medication to become a conformist zombie, robbed of what makes me unique... I just don't get "faking it".
