I see many ridiculous comments here, such as: "ADD never existed until 1980. Now where had it been hiding for all those thousands of years?" There are many diseases and disorders that are not discovered and/or defined for millenia. There are also diseases/disorders that pop up for what seems to be no reason at all. AIDs wasn't heard of before the 1970s, do you doubt its existence? Of course not, because it is something tangible that you can have a concrete test for. Just because ADD/ADHD has to do with the brain, and brain chemicals does not mean that it does not exist. It is not as easy to explain and it is not as clear cut a diagnosis as many diseases, but it is nonetheless a disease.

Also, I have seen many people who say their child/children have ADD/ADHD, yet I have seen no one here who has ADD/ADHD themself. I do have ADD/ADHD. Ritalin and other medication I have taken for my ADD/ADHD has changed my life. I would not be in the same place I am now if it were not for these medications and the help of a psychiatrist. I realize medication is not for everyone, but it has a very positive, sometimes life-changing effect on others. If you have never experience ADD/ADHD or another brain chemical disorder, you are really in no place to comment on whether other people should be taking medication or not. This decision is up to every individual and every family, there is no perfect answer that fits everyone. Not Ritalin, not therapy, not anything in "No More Ritalin: Treating ADHD Without Drugs."
