    An Epidemic of ADD or a Matter of Overdiagnosis?

      http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~mengwong/add/

      1. This web page is a compilation of information about ADD, available to all with world wide web access. It was compiled by Meng Weng Wong, and the articles it contains were written by many authorities on the disorder.

      2. Much of the information presented was written by doctors and psychologists presenting opinions and facts on the disorder. Patients of the doctors are described as a group, grouped by narrative.

      3. This source contains a wealth of information on all aspects of the disorder, including positive aspects, articles warning of misdiagnosis and what could be described as jumping on the ADD bandwagon, and an accurate picture of the hype presented by the media. The information is presented mostly to inform persons not familiar with the disorder. Little information is given on drug treatments to ADD, mostly on understanding and diagnosing the disorder.

      This is a strong source of pertinent and honest information on ADD. Facts are presented without bias by qualified professionals. The source is believable. Personal experience with the disorder may add depth and understanding to the information represented here, but I do not believe that it would change the way the information is viewed.
