Does ADHD exist?

In an article on Time.com, Dr. Richard Saul, a behavioral neurologist, suggests that ADHD, as popularly understood in today's society, does not exist. Certainly controversial, his perspective is worth considering. I happen to agree that ADHD is frequently misunderstood and misdiagnosed. In my practice, I encourage parents to seek second (or more) opinions before medicating their children for ADHD. I likewise encourage adults with an ADHD diagnosis to consider a second medical opinion and/or treatments to reduce or eliminate the need for medication.

An exaggeration, but probably true all too often...
