Thank you for your article about ADD and ADHD. I tried for 2 years to convince the courts that a boy that I have custody of was NOT ADD, contrary to tests that had been done on him. His behaviour “without” medication has greatly improved now. This child just needed a stable and loving home …

  greatly improved now. This child just needed a stable and loving home with
  consistent rules and consequences for bad behaviour. I think a lot of
  children are misdiagnosed and put on medication when some of the traits are
  simply "being children" or lie in a childs rebellion against instability in a
  family. Thanks again.
