All of psychiatry promotes fictitious diseases, ADHD being one of the most profitable.

I read though, some anecdotes of doctors who they think ADHD is correlated to iron deficiency in children. In our modern diet of soft drinks fast food and junk food, children need more iron than adults because they are rapidly growing.

I think this theory has some merit. I always thought ADHD though was caused by lack of exercise. How many children sit all day long and play video games and watch TV but do not get any exercise at all?

Kids acting like kids is not a disease. It's caused by boys being raised by women in an environment suited for girls.

I think merely a lack of exercise.

An environment lacking in rough and tumble play is more suited to girls than boys, so I think we are in agreement.

I don't think beating children is helpful. That just causes other problems down the road. Discipline is a good thing though.

ADHD is definitely over-diagnosed and this is coming from someone who actually has it.
