I recall some altie ranting about Doctors deliberately doing this so they can shill Big Pharama or some such. I'll see if I can find something. Nobodydon't bother 15:19, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Rather than the footnotes referring to dubious sites such as Natural News can they point to the University research such as http://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2010/nearly-1-million-children-potentially-misdiagnosed-with-adhd/ and as replicated here http://www.publicaffairs.ubc.ca/2012/03/05/younger-children-in-the-classroom-likely-over-diagnosed-with-adhd-ubc-research/. Also mention of Bad Pharma by Ben Goldacre which shows how the Pharma industry has hid trial data and marketed and given incentives to doctors to misdiagnose in order to sell drugs. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bad-Pharma-companies-mislead-patients/dp/0007350740 --Dirk Steele (talk) 15:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
