The above is the link to an article about the inventor of ADHD - Leon Eisenberg, psychiatrist. After inventing the behaviour category in 1980 and profiting from it for 40 years, Eisenberg stated that "ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease". He did that a few months before his death - ANOTHER psychiatrist recants before his death. Therefore, ADHD should be removed from the new DSM V as it is a fictitious disease and getting children addicted to methylphenidates should go the way of the DODO!
