Yes...Rush Limbaugh makes fun of it in this way as well
He lives in his own little world, just listen to him talk about his own airplane "EIB - 1"
He believes that ADHD and other mental problems are nothing more than made up disorders by the medical community to explain problems caused by liberals in this country and that problems faced by people such as financial and substance abuse problems can be solved by taking a mind-over-matter approach. He belives that people who are unsucessful in life have nothing to blame but their own laziness.
Of course this came out the mouth of a person who spent six years with a painkiller addiction.
One day I happened to have his show on. He took a call from a 12 yr old who self-cured himself of ADHD, he had stopped taking his meds cold turkey and he was doing better than ever.
Limbaugh was estatic, and proclaimed that this kid was the embodiment of everything that was wrong with todays medical community and his story could serve as an example for the other kids who have this made up disorder.
At least Sean Hannity takes a more realistic view of ADHD, he says it exists, but it is badly over diagnosed.
