ADHD has got to be the most overused diagnosis in the history of the world! Any time the slightest little behavior issue comes up, here it comes like clockwork! "Must be ADHD!" Couldn't possibly be just simple high energy?
This is one of those subjects that just frustrates me! In the past 6+ years, I've had 47 foster children. I can't tell you how many of them came through the door with an official diagnosis of ADHD and in many cases medication. For every one, except one that diagnosis was just simply crap! For the other one, he was actually bi-polar, he didn't have ADHD either!
