In regards to the overdiagnosis issue, it isn't actually clear that this is problem. It seems that most of the evidence is anecdotal. Studies aren't showing an increase in prescriptions or diagnoses or really any indicators of it. It's just that it's still a relatively new diagnosis, but they think the current numbers are now about accurate.. 3-7% of the population, both children and adults.
Kind of like the autism issue. It's not that autism started showing up *after* mercury vaccines. It wasn't named before that. Society just dealt with "simple" people in different ways. As we refine that diagnosis, different populations of children will fall into the same category. So, more kids diagnosed "autistic" doesn't mean that there are more kids with problems.
blah, sorry, I just did some research on this last semester, though probably not enough yet
PIKA2001 that made me lol
