ADULT EXPRESSES CONCERN REGARDING THE DIAGNOSIS OF ADHD--A QUESTIONNAIRE D F -B wrote: I have read a little of your thoughts regarding attention deficit disorder. I am an adult who is wanting to pursue a diagnosis of this disorder. Your comments were a little alarming. I am meeting with a person from the Education side of things who thus far has given me a questionnaire to complete and then he plans to do some testing from an educational perspective. I am intrigued by your credentials in the neurological sciences as I too have wondered exactly what is this disorder and how is affirmed by science
[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
make no mistake, by
disorder they mean disease, which means objective abnormality within
the patient. It is psychiatry, bought and paid for by pharm industry
of the world that invents the diseases, orchestrates the chem imbalance
propaganda--those at the top of psychiatry, it's research, chadd nami
know, are culpable, most others in the extended adhd industry are ready
believers, partners in making clients-patients-drugged-poisoned of
entirely normal infant, toddlers, children, adolescents, adults.
Virtually all doctor know, are trained to know are cuplable. See my
letter to the editor in May Pediatrics, accusing pediatrics,
psychiatry, neurolog, family practice, most in organized medicine of
knowingly decieving their patients, the public.]
. It's hard for me to fathom a large community of people being so unethical to actually treat this disorder for the purposes of gaining profit, but I guess I should not be so naive. At any rate, my symptoms seem to be in sync w/ what I have read regarding this disorder and I wanted to gain more information. I am leaning towards NOT using prescription drugs if and when I am diagnosed-I am concerned about the side effects.
[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
there is no doubt the
brain atrophy is from the drugs, not adhd–never validated. Cardiac
deaths are considerable with exact numbers not known because reporting
systems are voluntary. To better understand the fraud paid for with
your/our tax $, perpetrated out of the NIH/NIMH, order my video “ADHD
Total, 100% fraud, see how on www.adhdfraud.com/video.asp
What can you tell me about diagnosis(what is the proper method) and is there any evidence that this does exist. Just a side note: as a child about the age of four I was in a car accident where I hit the glove compartment while lying on my mother's lap. I wasn't treated for any head injury; however, I wonder if there is any correlation. Thank you in advance for any light you can shed on this topic. -- Drake University D F -B Assistant Director Office of Student Financial Planning D .F -B @drake.edu
