Gifted or ADHD (ADHD Misdiagnoses part 2)

http://3stepsadd.com - In a recent article I took look at the huge problem of ADD/ADHD misdiagnosis. The true extent of this problem becomes apparent when you stop to analyze the diagnosis rates over the past decade and also the rate at which ADD/ADHD medication is prescribed.

It is my conviction that the latter is the case and that vast numbers of people receive incorrect ADD/ADHD diagnoses (with life changing implications) every year.....
