Dr. David Perlmutter should be ashamed for contributing to the trend of lumping ADHD in with huge lists of symptoms such as (quote): "dementia, decreased libido, depression, chronic headaches, anxiety, epilepsy, and ADHD"

ADD and ADHD may not be as crippling as some mental conditions, but there is real peer-reviewed medical research out there concerning diagnosis and treatment. Hint: counseling and doctor-prescribed medication is more effective than homeopathy and trivial diet changes. People just want an easy solution and someone to blame.
