In reply to Re: Is ADHD a Hoax? This Doctor Says So. Read On.., posted by F00TBALL on June 24, 2007, at 12:42:58
Aww I'm sorry to hear that. :( I have family and friends with it as well. Although I do think this Doctor makes a good point and I do believe Pharmaceutical companies are involved in the "updating" of the DSM. I truly do. Especially since working in a Doctor's Office... Let's just say Doctor's get SO MANY perks from Pharmaceutical Companies. I find it shocking.
And yes I have family and friends who are both Pharmaceutical Reps and also a cousin who creates these meds and runs the studies and such (he's literally a genius.)
I just think that Pharmaceutical companies might have some control over our Diagnoses. Notice I say MIGHT. I don't know for sure but I sure have seen a lot to make me believe what the Doctor in this article has said.
Thanks for your response! And I hope you and your friend are well and healing regardless of whether it's through medication or not. :) I also take meds and feel my Xanax is a life saver!
Take care and have a great day!
Hugs,
Baby Bunny
