Diagnosis and Treatment of ADHD

Does anyone know about Dr. Leon Eisenberg (the father of ADHD) said on his deathbed that he "made up ADHD". He also said the condition was for the selling of pharmaceuticals and to make drug companies richer and not for the well being of children. Does anyone KNOW about this? Maybe you Melissa? What do you make of this?

I KNOW FOR A FACT, that my husband DOES have ADHD, due to the change in him from the medications, AND from the hereditary conditions his family members had. But, WHY would this Dr. who supposedly STARTED the diagnosis of ADHD, then say it was a ficticious disease?

Well, he obviously does't have ADHD. Becuse if he did, he never would have admitted to making it up. He would have blamed it on his Spouse. ------- sorry, I couldn't help sharing my bad sense of humour. :)
