[Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
Dear K , I wrote to A.G. Janet Reno in April, 1998 that the
representation of ADHD/ADD (whatever) by US psychiatry, the pharmaceutical
industry (and the US federal government too) to be a disease is the biggest
health care fraud of modern time.

Do not let the testing start, it leads to labeling which leads to
drugging--none of it legitimate medical practice at all. They become
insistent, even tyrannical, they call in CPS, they hail loving
common-sensical parents into court and damn them for resisting. Usually it
is best to escape while you can to a private or parochial school (carefully
screened) that knows this is not the stuff of education; escape before you
are on a legal footing with them. Good luck, FB
