Overdiagnosis is not a problem, but misdiagnosis may be as people are driven into the private sector by long waits, and sadly, missed diagnoses remain common —Tamsin Ford
Experts are warning that far from being over-diagnosed, people with ADHD are waiting too long for assessment, support and treatment.
It’s really not.
Not every adhd is equally severe nor do they all affect the same parts of people’s lives. I’m happy this works for you but it does not mean it works for everyone.
I have not said that there is only one possibility. Obviously the tools given need to be adjusted to the individual. But the same way I am not allowed to make general statements and dismiss yours, you are not allowed to dismiss mine. If you treat ADHD less like a disease or something bad, I’m sure it will generally improve outcomes, even if the actual severity is different across people.
