Is it really the biggest healthcare fraud in history?
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) I wouldnt go far to say that its a fraud, but i would say that it seems so called experts just love to place “labels” here there and everywhere, There could possibly be many reasons why people suffer from this so called disease, it could be contributed from parents interaction or lack of it from when the sufferers were infants, could also possibly the chemicals placed in foods ie, preservatives, E numbers ect.

And tgibbyson, it’s idiots like you that have teachers having nervous breakdowns and quitting the job after a few years. I’m getting sick of hearing incompetent parents blame teachers for not raising their kids for them instead of their job of teaching them. There’s a difference between acting like a zombie and being bloody well behaved. Just like there’s a difference between being enthusiastic and being a disruptive little s***. Sadly most parents of problem children refuse to believe thei
