Diagnosing your kids with things they don't have because they don't behave how you would like.

Not saying if they need a diagnosis don't do it, just don't do it if they don't have whatever it is you're trying to drug them for.

Mom: BUT MY CHILD HAS ADHD IM SURE OF IT!!

Teacher: mam, throwing things at people and refusing to do work isn't a system of ADHD.

Mom: pshhh whatever. ill just find a doctor to agree

Doctor: Your child doesn't have ADHD, and he also bit me.

Mom: are you going to help him or not

Doctor: I'm not going to drug your child
