I gotta agree with the others on this one... how did you get through law school if you've got ADD?
I also agree that too many kids are diagnosed with this. It's a catchall-- sometimes for poor parenting, sometimes for poor diet, and I'm sure, for other things, too. My stepgrandson has been on ritalin for forever. When I go to their house, I hardly ever see that kid put anything in his mouth except candy or pizza. There probably are some legitimate cases of it, but probably not as many as are labeled.

Quote: According to the DEA, the number of prescriptions written for Ritalin since 1991 has increased by a factor of five (2.2 million) and about 80 percent of the 11 million prescriptions written for Ritalin are to “treat” ADHD. This means that nearly 9 million children have been prescribed the cocainelike “medication.”
