I've also posted information on ADHD obtained from NAMI, one journal for
adolescent counselors, and the research from Dr. Neher.  I would thinkt
that is not ignorance and I am not admitting anything.
There are so called experts in mental health and allied matters that I
don't believe, have never believed and will never believe.  Got
permission to do that as a student nurse around 1951 by a doctor at St.
Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C. with a Vienese accent.  He
delighted in having the residents do case studies on someone who had
been a patient there for 20 or 30 years, then would rip apart what had
been said.  His point was that when someone is misdiagnosed no proper
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
treatment is provided and the patient remains sick forever.

The experts in MENTAL ILLNESS who have a background in hard science and
who are into brain chemistry, brain imagry, and the other modern
technical knowledge used for a definitive diagnosis have, on the other
hand, my complete and total respect.
Diagnosis begins with a proper history.

That takes time, more than the cursory exam that most folks get today
when they go to any doctor's office.
