One of our members recently posted this question:
Why would people think ADHD is a myth, fraud, or isn't a mental disorder?
We've addressed this in the past, a few months ago, Merely Me posted:
ADHD - Why Some People Don't Believe in ADHD
But because this issue is so prevalent, it can only be beneficial to continue asking, wondering and searching for the answer.
Won't you share your perspective on this important topic?
Thanks
