Twenty five years of research, not deserving of the term 'research.,' has failed to validate ADD/ADHD as a disease.

In his book, “America Fooled”, Dr. Scott details how our nation’s public has been deceived by psychiatry into thinking that there is any valid research behind the mass drugging of our population.
