[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son (16) doesn't have it.  He does have Exec Functioning issues, though.

His sister (14) has serious ADHD...like can't function at all without her medicine (we've tried many times).

Here are the following people in our family with ADHD:

My Dad
My Mother-in-Law
My husband
One of my paternal uncles
One of my sisters
Two of my female cousins on my Dad's side
My only male cousin on my Dad's side

These people range in age from 28 to 78.  They also range in their ability to manage ADHD.  Some medicate and some don't.  But yeah, ADHD is hoax and everyone is overmedicated.[/quote]

Yes, they are. You are in hopeless denial. As long as you are comfortably drugged, what care do you have?[/quote]

I'm NOT comfortably drugged.  I've never had ADHD.  I just have a lot of people in my immediate and extended family with ADHD.  And, as I noted above, some medicate, some do not.

I don't think anyone but a psychiatrist should be able to diagnose and treat ADHD and I'm sure there are some people who have just been handed drugs by a physician with no battery of tests, etc. but that has not been our family's experience at all.[/quote]

You = plural you[/quote]
