In one aspect, I agree with the article: titles/labels of disorders ARE pushed upon people. I also think that it isn't only the drug companies but the insurance companies. Doctors have trouble being reimbursed unless they are treating a disorder as described by the insurance company.

We don't need to take offense to this small exerpt, imo. I think ADD/ ADHD is way over dx'd and that much of it is boredom because teachers don't know how to teach (in general.) And on the other hand, children are so habitually programmed now through hyper computer games, anything less than shocking fails to gain their attention.

Do we know if the diet of growth hormones also contribute to more mental unwellness? What about all the nitrites in the processed foods? Maybe the chemical system of human beings in general are changing. IDK.

I think it's a call to rethink labeling people, not saying problems don't exist.
