One of my co-workers was clinically diagnosed with adult ADD several years ago, and said the testing was quite long and involved many steps. She feels it was almost designed to favor a negative diagnosis.

I wonder if that was to compensate for the more "generous" (over)diagnoses from two decades earlier.

attention deficit is not the same as depression.  I don't know why we have to medicate the young.  In adults, anti depressants can be a LIFE SAVER.

Why can't depressed people just change their environment which is causing the depression instead of just popping pills.
