It is obvious to everyone and his brother that you're trying to get a flame war going here. I just have to ask- why?? Who are you trying to convince ADHD doesn't exist- us or yourself?

There are articles on both sides of the equation here, posting a one-sided article proves nothing. The author's mind has been made up in advance in both cases, and (s)he will only be looking for that evidence which supports their argument.

People hear "stimulant" and they freak. It is not like doctors aren't aware of the danger of prolonged, high doses of stimulants...but that's not what a kid with ADHD is getting. They are getting *MUCH* lower doses than a recreational user and even lower doses than when the drugs were prescribed in the 50's for the specific purpose of keeping someone "up." Your doctor is fully aware of the risk, and is using dosage guidelines to avoid that.

As far as ADHD not being real- I can't even argue that. It is clearly real. Of course not everyone who gets diagnosed with it really has it, but that doesn't mean there aren't other people with it. I have seen firsthand the dramatic benefit of giving medication to kids with ADHD that I grew up with- and guess what- they're not suffering with amphetamine psychosis, substance abuse, or stunted growth.
