2007 US government stats state 5.4 million children have been given a ADHD diagnosis. The most recent figures are much higher.

This week’s guest, Dr. Frank Barnhill, M.D., author of Mistaken for ADHD, reveals the incidence of wrong diagnosis is something in the order of 20%-40%!

Kids in the conventional educational system are at real risk of being misdiagnosed, mistreated and mishandled.

This is a program that should outrage many parents.

Dr. Barnhill reveals some of the egregious reasons for this calamity. He reveals the classic symptoms too often mistaken for ADHD —and more importantly, he takes us through the lessons all parents, teachers and professionals need to be aware of so they can be sure to get a correct diagnosis and properly help their children.
