Real ADHD myth is that one doesn’t exist
Publication info: Daily Breeze ; Torrance, Calif. [Torrance, Calif]28 Oct 2002: A13.

ABSTRACT (ABSTRACT)
The idea of ADHD as a myth fits our suspicions about contemporary America _ excuse seeking, short-cut finding
and irresponsibility. But on closer examination, it turns out that the myth is a myth. Mona Charen is a syndicated
columnist based in Washington, D.C. Her e-mail address is mcharen@cox.rr.com.
Among the myths circulated by the press is the notion that medicating children with ADHD leads to drug abuse in
adolescence. In fact, as a consortium of leading doctors and academics recently emphasized, the opposite is the
case. Untreated, ADHD sufferers are more likely than the general public to abuse illegal drugs. Those who receive
treatment are less likely to do so. Untreated, 50 percent to 70 percent of those with ADHD have few or no friends,
70 percent to 80 percent underperform at work, and 40 percent to 50 percent engage in antisocial activities. They
are also significantly more likely than the average person to get pregnant while a teen- ager, drive dangerously and
have multiple car accidents, drop out of school, and experience depression. (For more on media
misrepresentations, see Fumento.com.)
FULL TEXT
Conservatives are sure it is a sign of parental laziness. Liberals are sure it is big business, in the form of drug
companies, conspiring to ensnare large numbers of American children. Observers of no particular outlook are
nonetheless likely to believe that ADHD is either a fraud or an invention.
They are apt to believe this for several reasons: 1) because the media have consistently misrepresented the facts
about the disorder, and 2) because so many trends of the past several decades make it seem implausible that
ADHD just burst onto the scene.
Why, reasonable people may ask, did this disorder suddenly explode just when parents were becoming less
involved with their kids’ lives, and when discipline and good order were abandoned by the schools? Isn’t this
“disease” just an excuse for medicating high spirits and boyish antics out of existence?
Christina Hoff-Sommers, author of The War Against Boys, initially thought so. But, being a careful scholar, she
looked into the matter and discovered that clear evidence from neurology and psychiatry show that the disorder is
real, and that, untreated, quite serious. Nor is it new. It has been identified for decades and successfully treated
with medications for more than 40 years.
Anyone who has seen a parent unable to discipline a mouthy child in public is right to conclude that parental
authority ain’t what it used to be _ but wrong to suppose that ADHD is a myth.
Admittedly, mental health experts don’t help matters by changing the names of disorders. ADHD used to be called
“hyperactivity” (and bipolar disorder used to be manic-depression, etc.). The name Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder virtually invites ridicule.

But hundreds of studies and years of clinical experience leave no room for doubt that the disease is real and
measurable.
Children with the disorder have significantly diminished capacity to regulate their conduct, control their impulses
and concentrate on a single task. Many are socially inept because they lack the ability to understand subtle social
cues. They may or may not be hyperactive (if not, they are called ADD), but in many cases they have associated
problems _ typically language disorders and depression.
The syndrome has a strong genetic component, and twin studies have shown that home environment makes no
separate contribution to the incidence of the illness.

drugs do not work for everyone, they do work for the vast majority. Social skills groups, which target the ADHD
child’s difficulties with peers and family members, have also produced encouraging outcomes.
