W hen it comes to information on ADHD, there are no rules on what are considered good and bad practices. To this day, this results in websites, news messages and even academic textbooks that are very unbalanced and filled with fallacies. Unbalanced, for instance, in the sense that much emphasis is placed on brain and genetic studies that to this day have cost billions of dollars, while showing only very small associations—not providing any basis for biological screening.

I never knew what it was like—-to inhabit my body. I was always inhabiting others bodies in my body since the cave opened and my heart beheld the world.

I fed on a breast that fed on me and the motherlessness of this hollowness haunted me.

The Psychiatric Time s has been hosting a point/counterpoint regarding the validity of DSM diagnoses, which began when two Finnish researchers, Jussi Valtonen and Jani Kajanoja, published an article critiquing the presentation on web sites that confound the diagnosis of depression with a causal explanation for that diagnosis. That triggered a reply by Ronald Pies and Mark Ruffalo, which was published in Psychiatric Times, which sought to defend the “validity” of DSM diagnoses.

The topic came up last week and it happens on a recurrent basis diagnoses especially psychiatric diagnoses are not good because they are stigmatizing. I addressed this fairly comprehensively in a post on this blog 10 years ago , but the persistent antipsychiatry rhetoric out there keeps repeating inaccuracies.
