I fail to see how your recurrent relativization of the existence of ADHD has anything to do with effective psychotherapist treatment of clear symptoms.

Also, do you have reliable sources for this poisoning hypothesis?

Symptoms don't mean what you seem to think they mean.

Medical issues related to toxic exposure are medical issues, not something that can be resolved by psychotherapy.

See my other post on how to find those reliable sources, or just ask your doctor if this ever happens.

Syptoms in the context of ADHD mean exactly what I think they mean.

ADHD is irreversible, it's not something that can be reversed or goes away on its own.

There is literature on a link between fetal heavy metal exposure and ADHD development.

I can't find anything on neurotoxins "mimicking" ADHD.

Again, by the very biological definition of what happens in a brain on ADHD, this is not reversible. It's chronic.

You clearly don't know what you are talking about, and you lack the appropriate rigor needed for a proper discussion. Best of luck to you.
