No. Because you are an id-eot. Your "questions" are stupid. YOU are stupid.
But, in any event, realizing how ignorant, delusional, stubborn and stupid you are, I EDITED the prior post before your latest post. Cross posted. Another answer. Another chance for you to reject it pretty much sight unseen.
You id-eot.

there is no diagnostic test..there is no proof this is an illness..therefore there is no way to ever know if a so called diagnosis is correct or not
eots
no fly list
but you clearly claimed there was lots of proof ADHD was an illness...so wheres the lots of proof you claim ?
My point stands.
By the way. If your *alleged* child(ren) had no symptoms, why were they tested.

I do not have alleged children I have three very real children and there is a lot of funding the schools receive for every learning diabled child they have..according to the chairman of the DSM-4..he is responsible for creating a false epidermic and schools could hardly contain themselves in there grabs for funding ..the so called symptoms of ADHD are as follows
have a hard time paying attention
daydream a lot
not seem to listen
be easily distracted from schoolwork or play
forget things
be in constant motion or unable to stay seated
squirm or fidget
talk too much
not be able to play quietly
act and speak without thinking
have trouble taking turns
interrupt others
CDC - ADHD, Facts - NCBDDD
and my children have every one of these traits in a school setting....

I did? I said lots of "proof?"
Find it. Quote it. Link it.
But you won't. You can't. You are either stupid or dishonest.
Morons like you cannot distinguish between "evidence" and "proof." But you imagine you have any credibility when it comes to your uninformed opinions on any scientific topic?
Too funny, you id-eot.

Yes, kids with ODD and a variety of other disorders exhibit those symptoms.
So do a lot of perfectly normal kids who are never given speed.
Of the two groups, the ones that medicate, and the ones that don't, I wonder which group has the most incidence of the more challenging behaviors, later? I wonder which kids have a more difficult time as they get older?
I can tell you this...it's almost always kids from single parent households or actually in foster care that are medicated. What a coincidence for a *disease*.

Unlike the normal children. You just made the ADHD point.
You remove all the stimulants, and they're fine? Thanks.
You want to live with those side effects?

bullshit those are studies of children given so called therapeutic dose of ritalian
Proof, please.

. so where is your...lot of evidence ADHD is an illness?

these studies are not valid because the children scanned where already subjected to brain damaging ritalian

On The Validity of Brain Scans as Proofs of Psychiatric Theories
3. Claimed comparisons of functional scans of so-called diseased brains to those of so-called normal brains have all been invalid, since they failed to take into consideration the various factors that influence brain circulation, including age, diet, gender, medical condition, weight, height, whether on drugs, drug history, education, etc. All of these and other factors influence the way a brain looks on a functional brain scan. (In one notorious study, the supposed differences between the normal and abnormal brains were entirely explained when it was learned that one of the groups was significantly older than the other. In another study, the people with alleged psychiatric illnesses showed brain abnormalities that were entirely explained when it was discovered that they were all on psychiatric drugs, and that the drugs were known to cause such abnormalities.)
4. The idea that a functional scan gives an instant view of brain activity is false. The sorts of brain activity we're interested in (neuro-activity) is instant, happening in thousandths of a second. A functional scan shows shifts in circulation, which, even where thought to be associated with brain activity, lag behind that activity by a few seconds (a few seconds being hundreds of times longer than the brain activity itself). In other words, this is a very crude view of the brain in action (if it is a view of brain activity, which is doubtful, since the relationship of shifts in blood circulation to brain activity are still not well understood).
5. The psychiatrists presenting these images to the public imply that we are looking at images of two brains, one normal, the other diseased. In fact, each image is a statistical average of many images. No one individual has either of these scans, and the averaging suggests clearer and more consistent differences that would not show up in individual scans. Individual scans (even assuming all the earlier points were handled) have far too much variability to be reliable for diagnosis. Where imaging studies compare groups of "normal" and "abnormal" brains, there is a large overlap between the groups. Many people alleged to be ADHD, for example, do not show the brain patterns claimed to be characteristic of ADHD.

Studies have shown that Ritalin use in children increases chances of drug abuse and developing chronic drug dependency in adolescence [Mannuzza et al, 2003], and causes permanent brain damage in animals [Kuroda 2000] and humans [Breggin, 1990]. It has been conclusively shown to be the leading cause of increasing rates of drug-induced schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder in children in North America [Breggin, 1999; Cherland & Fitzpatrick, 1999, Gilberg et al, 1997]. Yet unpublished study in China [Hui Xia pers. comm] indicate that long-term use of Ritalin in preschool years strongly correlates with dramatic decrease in academic performance.
