He's going to actually draw blood and test the level of lipids or whatever it is they check. I feel the attitude is completely different when it comes to psychological disorders especially when your family practitioner or care provider might only have 5-10 minutes for diagnosing and coming up with treatment plans for the patient.
I'm also not saying that ADD or ADHD is a non issue but I do believe it's over diagnosed and over exposed and someone putting their kid on meds for it just because he goes nuts after slamming a Mt. Dew is absurd.
