More addictive than cocaine? I thought methylphenadate was supposed not
to be addictive to persons with ADHD. And how exactly are we able to
quantify addiction, anyway? That is, who suggested that mtpd was more
addictive than cocaine, and how was this determined?
I don't think ADHD/ADD is a farce, though it is perhaps horribly
overdiagnosed. If this discussion continues, I think we'll all have to
agree that the lack of a comprehensive definition of ADHD/ADD (and all its
components and varieties) will pose a large problem.
