None of these researchers suggest that ADD does not exist and that people do not suffer from it. Nor do they argue for the elimination of ADD medications. Rather, there is a mismatch between environment, expectations and temperament which naturally leads to behavior problems, anxiety and depression. Most people receive their information from the medical community, CH.A.D.D., or the manufacturers of medication. The medical community is inherently biased towards viewing all behavioral difficulties as illnesses which require treatment.
Drug manufacturers are obviously biased towards promoting their product.
And CH.A.D.D. is funded by the makers of Ritalin. When a child who is hyperactive and inattentive in the classroom is given Ritalin, they behave like a normal child and can pay attention. Therefore, the child obviously has a brain defect. This is a flippant argument. Because a drug can change an undesirable trait does not prove the trait was a defect.
