Is ADHD/ADD overdiagnosed in America?

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm sure saying that would make it easier for you to fight but it ain't what I am saying so you'll have to find something else to nitpick.

Did you or did you NOT say this:

"a pill won't make a kid truly learn easier at all"

The answer is either YES or NO. If the answer is YES, then this statement completely invalidates any argument for ADHD medical treatment. If the answer is NO, then it completely validates it. You can't have it both ways. Either way I WIN!

Oh, and before you decide what it was that you actually said/meant by that, let me remind you that the statement is an ABSOLUTE because of the words "at all".

No, you don't win. A pill is not the only way to TREAT something. I can fully acknowledge that ADHD is real while still believing that it is overdiagnosed, and also not always something that needs a pill!

As I said, you're nitpicking cause you like fighting but you're grasping at straws to make yourself by fighting against an imaginary foe! You come off as desperate.

But that's NOT what you said (nor was that ever in debate). What you said was QUOTE: "a pill won't make a kid truly learn easier AT ALL" That's two completely different positions!

That's true, you can believe that. And if your opinion is based soley off of your "belief", then there is no reason to continue debating it. But it's not a reasonable belief because it can't be justified by any facts. So my opinion is that I disagree with your belief on that basis, and on the basis that my belief IS based on facts. MEDICAL FACTS!

To you perhaps. I'll let the other members of this thread be the judge of that once they read everything that's been said between BOTH parties!
