Does anyone buy these ADHD findings?

Richard Blazey of Eastman Kodak Co. found himself in that spot as he began studying the potential of images to help treat psychiatric disorders, such as depression.

The senior research associate was looking at the physical responses of 72 adults who had been purposely deprived of pictures, sounds and other distractions.

He suddenly spied a piece of data that seemed strange. One subject, a man, was showing different temperature readings in his fingertips than his fellow subjects. It soon became apparent why: The man had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

That discovery led Kodak to open a new line of research, which concludes today in a unique business transaction that could have a dramatic influence on the lives of millions.

Kodak's eureka! helps hyperactivity research

Different temperature readings in the fingertips????

What is your objection? It isn't likely that you are familiar enough with the study, or have a high enough understanding of everything involved to give a well formed opinion.

Why not. Physical symptoms are certainly a possibility in neurological disorders.

I don't know anything about this at all. Just call me a skeptic.

I even question the whole ADHD thing. Seems to me it's way over-diagnosed.

There's definately a disorder called ADHD, and people have it, but I have to agree with you on the over-diagonsed thing. Not feeling like yourself today? Here, take these pills!

I agree with you Riprorin. I think that most of this ADHD stuff is a crock. It is just another way to have people's actions deemed "not their fault." Sure, there are probably legitimate cases of this out there, but the rates at which it is diagnosed and medicated are way too high. I am not going to drug up my children just because they are being children. With a respectable amount of discipline at home I believe that most of these cases would simply disapear. I can see the future now...finger temperature scans every morning in school...oh, your fingertips are reading a slightly different temperature from the rest of your body, here is some ritalin to make you all better.

For the most part ADHD is an excuse for parents who can't handle their kids because the parents suck. I agree that there is a real problem and a very few people actually have it.

One of my profs was telling us how it is mislabled and should be called Parent Deficit Diorder or Dad Deficit Disorder.
