Subject: [COMMUNITYPSYCHUK] Physical illness and Mental illness

 

 

Hi all,

I debate has developed within our service regarding ADHD (again) and I felt compelled to respond.  The main points in the debate appear to be:

1) Why do so many clinicians, who work in HEALTH, speak so pejoratively about the most researched disorder in CAMHS?

 

2) Are those, who question ADHD as a valid disorder, appropriate clinicians to be working in CAMHS?

 

3) Would you dispute the existence of your illness if you or a relative were admitted to hospital with motor-neuron disease, diabetes or cancer?

 

I was hoping to provide a response to each of the points.  I’m emailing for some direction on the last point – does anyone on the list have any journal articles that might help me clarify this as I’m not doing so well at coming up with a response?

 

Thanks

 

Charles
