[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we go back to the fact that 25% of boys get ADHD diagnoses??[/quote] Did you read the whole article? The baseball player who was medicated so he would be more interested in studying for his SAT is an example of a boy who should not have been diagnosed or medicated. If he is an example of the 25% of teen boys with a diagnosis, this is a problem with the diagnostic process. My pediatrician won’t prescribe antibiotics for an ear infection unless my child has gone a week without it resolving on its own. Sometimes that annoying because if it is bacterial my kids just suffers longer, but I also understand it’s to prevent the unnecessary use of antibiotics if it’s viral. This is a problem which is fixable without denying kids who do benefit from a diagnosis/meds.[/quote]
