[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](18:17 here) Years ago, I met a child psychologist who was appalled then at how over used ADHD was. He opened a clinic, and would not diagnose a child without an EEG. He insisted that a child who has "true" ADHD will have more short brain waves than they should. Based on his recommendations, I insisted on an EEG for my son when his teacher started yapping about Ritalin. The school psychologist would have been happy to put him on meds, so would his pediatrician. I insisted on the EEG first. It was normal, so no meds. We dealt with a lot of behavior issues with him, for a long time. Adjusted diet and clear expectations helped but didn't solve everything. His teacher couldn't believe I wouldn't medicate and wasn't impressed when I told her why.[/quote] That doctor is a sample of one - a quack![/quote]
