The ADHD/ADD Debate Continues

This article is a must read for those of you who are trying to make sense of the whole ADHD/ADD debate and try to answer that question of "does it exist?" Geoff Metcalf interviews psychiatry-abuse crusader Don Pierson to get the full lowdown on the facts you won't hear in the media, such as the fact that we could easily have another Thalidomide incident on our hands. I'll leave you with this quote from the National Institute of Health in 1998 "We don?t have an independent valid test for ADHD. There are no data to indicate that ADHD is due to a brain malfunction. Existing studies come to conflicting conclusions as to whether use of psycho-stimulants increases or decreases the risk of abuse and, finally, after years of research and experience with ADHD, our knowledge about the cause or causes of ADHD remains speculative."
