No, KarinKarinKarin, that is not me, you must have got me confused with someone else. ADHD most certainly does exist; it is a serious problem; it presents huge difficulties to families; it needs skilled managagement and frequently (but not always needs treatment with amphetamine derivatives such as Ritalin.) But is a RARE condition. At present it is being "diagnosed" by the world and his wife, and as a result our children are being often inapropriately filled up with psychoactive medication which can be damaging. If you had read the article http://nhsblogdoc.blogspot.com/2005/12/suffer-little-children.html you would understand what I was saying. Please disagree with me. Please slag me off if that is what you want to do.... but PLEASE do not misrepresent my view. ADHD exists. There are plently of conditions that DON'T exist such as "repetetive stain injury" (RSI) of "myalgic encephelomyelitis" (ME) but ADHD...oh yes, it exits
