What Do Most Doctors Say About ADHD ?

Quotes from the medical majority:

“To suggest that ADHD is a fraud, that somehow children are being abused by these treatments, is really an outrage because for these kids to not get treated is really the greatest abuse and neglect” (Harold Koplewicz M.D.)

“A disorder doesn’t have to have a blood test to be valid. If that were the case, all mental disorders would be invalid – schizophrenia, bipolar, Tourette’s – all would be thrown out. There is no lab test for any mental disorder right now in our science. That doesn’t make it invalid.” (Russell Barkley M.D.)

“We can now say with complete confidence that ADHD is a genetic disease and the brains of individuals with this condition developed differently that those of others.” (American Medical Association)
