The article is dangerously mistitled. That multiple actual mental health conditions exist that all have been labeled ADHD is well known by the research community. There are multiple causative factors that can lead to ADHD symptoms, and what have traditionally been referred to as different subtypes of ADHD respond to different types of treatment. This is hardly news! It is also where there are multiple treatment strategies for ADHD, until we get a better naming scheme in place (and make no mistake, the lack of proper names impacts both communication and how we think about the problem), we are stuck with using the catch all term ADHD. (Though some people have split into using ADHD-PI from primarily inattentive, it often doesn't respond to stimulant treatment at all.) Now I fundamentally disagree with the author's final assertion that "everyone is misdiagnosed" is pure BS. Primary evidence is that there are structural brain differences in people who have ADHD. The portion of the brain responsible for self control is dramatically smaller. Arguing that "it isn't real" when there is literally missing brain matter is disingenuous at best. Next up, people with untreated ADHD have THREE TIMES the rates of auto accidents. Now, maybe, just maybe, ADHD isn't real at all, and instead psychologists have spent their time and energy coming up with the best auto insurance risk test ever! But I doubt it.
