Overdiagnosis is not a problem, but misdiagnosis may be as people are driven into the private sector by long waits, and sadly, missed diagnoses remain common —Tamsin Ford

Experts are warning that far from being over-diagnosed, people with ADHD are waiting too long for assessment, support and treatment.

I didnt say as good and I don't think it invalidated my opinion. I am say that their day to day was not just tragedy and to define them solely by that is akin to saying survivors of abuse are always defined by it.

Yes we have gotten better access to food and better medicine but if our day to day has less humanity in it we are allowed to have issue with it.

Its a disservice to say we can't be upset about our reality because people died in the past. Not every day of their life was tragedy they had days they laughed and people created and lived all the same, and not every moment of ours is better just because we have cheetos and epidurals. Its like saying we have to eat our dinner of razor blades cause a child is starving in Africa. Its bitter and doesnt help them or us.
