[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
this is an educator, not a physician, practicing medicine without a
license. It is done in schools all across the country. They have been
totally duped, like all of the laity into believing ADHD and all
psychiatric 'constructs' are 'diseases'. ]

[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
for any physician to lead a parent or patient into believing that ADHD or
any psychiatric diagnosis/condition is a disease is a violation of their
right of informed consent/self determination and, in most jurisdictions,
is medical malpractice]

T****, write to the President of the California Medical Board in
Sacramento, (and of the medical board of your state) and tell them how
you were lied to and told and lead to believe that ADHD was a disease,
an abnormality within your son, one that required medical
treatment--Ritalin.]
