This Web Site does disagree with the Psychiatry DSM IV criteria for diagnosing ADD or ADHD as a "mental disorder." However, we are not implying that children or adults may not have difficulty learning, concentrating or completing task etc. There might be a problem but it can be addressed without mind altering and addictive medication. Click here to read about a new alternative for ADD/ADHD. The reports on this are fantastic.

What is ADD and ADHD

From the American Psychiatric Association's book Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV)

*From the Associated Laboratory findings section: “ There are no laboratory tests that have been established as diagnostic in the clinical assessment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.” (pg. 81)

“ Although most individuals have symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity, there are some individuals in whom one or the other pattern is predominant.” (pg. 80) The book goes on to list three subtypes of ADHD. A contradiction is found in the Prevalence (.....) section when it is stated “The prevalence of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is estimated at 3%-5% in school-age children. Data on prevalence in adolescence and adulthood are limited.” (pg. 82)

Here is more on what is looked for in determining if a child has ADHD. “It is very unusual for an individual to display the same level of dysfunction in all settings or within the same setting at all times. Symptoms typically worsen in situations that require sustained attention or mental effort or that lack intrinsic appeal or novelty (e.g., listening to classroom teachers, doing class assignments, listening to or reading lengthy materials, or working on monotonous, repetitive tasks), Signs of the disorder may be minimal or absent when the person is under very strict control, in a novel setting, is engaged in especially interesting activities, in a one-to-one situation (e.g., the clinician’s office), or while the person experiences frequent rewards for appropriate behavior.” (pg. 79/80)

What about other testing that has shown, after 5 years, children that had been diagnosed with ADHD (that were not given drugs or therapy to treat ADHD) tested to be on the same level or hyperactivity scale as the “normal” children. Did ADHD simply vanish?

Here is DSM-IV’s statements. “As children mature, symptoms usually become less conspicuous. By late childhood and early adolescence, signs of excessive gross motor activity (e.g., excessive running and climbing, not remaining seated) are less common, and hyperactivity symptoms may be confined to fidgetiness or an inner feeling of jitteriness or restlessness.” (pg. 81)

This is a quote from Lawrence Diller, M.D. of the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Diller attended the 1996 DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) Conference on Stimulant Use in the treatment of ADHD and had this to say "The reason why you have been unable to obtain any articles or studies presenting clear and confirming evidence of a physical or chemical abnormality associated with ADHD is that there is none".

    Quote from Fred Baughman Jr., M.D., Pediatric Neurologist. "We are not "over diagnosing" or "misdiagnosing", ADHD is a total, 100 per cent fraud. The many millions of schoolchildren around the world who are being drugged have no disease. Had the vast majority of these children learned to read properly, utilizing phonics, they would never have been labeled as having ADHD or any other "learning disorder."

"Hyperactivity, despite all of the "Medical" terms, is no more than motion. A parent or teachers ability to experience and handle motion, solely determines if that child is viewed hyperactive. A child that is viewed hyperactive in one family or classroom may very well be viewed as normal in another that deals well with random motion."  James Harper
