[QUOTE="witzend, post: 595649, member: 99"] While the article is an interesting starting point for a conversation, it leaves more questions unanswered in my mind than it gives answers. The gold standard for a research study is a double blind study. Usually you need at least 150 on each side of the blind to give what can be considered an accurate finding. The article doesn't refer to any such study results. I suppose there are blind studies in the US that could be looked at but I really don't know. I've always been very skeptical about the over-diagnosing and over-medicating on ADHD. But to just say that French children are medicated less seems very arbitrary to me. [/QUOTE]
