ADHD was voted into existence in 1987 by a committee of the American Psychiatric Association. The recognition of ADHD as a "psychiatric disorder" was the culmination of social, political, economic, medical, and psychological factors coming together at just the right time. Bolstered by politics and money, the outrageous claims of the ADHD industry have persistently escaped scrutiny. As a result, millions of responsible and loving parents have medicated their children on the advice of the "experts" in child behavior. Additionally, as an outgrowth of the wildly successful ADHD drug industry, today are the pharmacological treatments for adults who are unable to concentrate.
