[quote=Anonymous]ADD is alarmingly overdiagnosed. 5% is the upper limit of valid diagnosis, but in actuality 33% of young boys are being diagnosed. That means for every 6 people on here who have been told their son has ADD, only one of them actually has the condituon. That is a potential of 5 boys being given amphetamines unnecessarily." Your statistics are 100% wrong and not supported by medical studies (which, among other things, show with brain scans that ADHD brains do function differently.) Also, long term meta studies show that people with ADHD who take stimulant's are LESS likely to become addicts; those that are not treated are MORE likely to become addicts. So, yeah, you really don't know what you're talking about. [/quote]
