A fair amount of evidence suggests that ADHD is a manufactured diagnosis. Child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Sami Timimi points out that there is no known cause for ADHD and there exists no specific cognitive, medical and/or neurological markers for diagnosing it. In addition, there is no specific treatment for ADHD and stimulation medication has been said to have the same effect on otherwise normal children. Finally, stimulation medication has generated huge profits for the pharmaceutical industry. “Thus the mainstream dogma on ADHD is contaminated and misleading.” Under the current medical model, ADHD becomes a convenient scapegoat for parents and teachers to shirk from their responsibilities as caretakers and for the community members to disregard societal flaws such as the loss of the extended family, the pressure on schools, the breakdown in the moral authority of adults and increasingly frenetic pace of family life.24
