I haven't had time to fully read all these posts but obviously the issues surrounding ADHD treatment and diagnosis is a growing problem. The important issue should be to support objective assessment. Most practitioners suggest this can not be done but our research shows it can. However, unfortunately the government does not support objective assessment. Go figure?? What I mean by objective is something like when you go to the pathologist and get a blood test, the results are entirely data driven and quantified. In a sense our group specialises in brain pathology and brain testing. Further more we can objectively ascertain whether or not someone is responding to the selected treatment.
