Der Spiegel quoted psychiatrist Leon Eisenberg, a Jew, who was the “scientific father of ADHD” said “ADHD is a fictitious disease”.
Since 1968, Leon Eisenberg’s “disease” haunted the diagnostic and statistical manuals, first as “hyperkinetic reaction of childhood”, now called “ADHD”. The use of ADHD medications in Germany rose from 34 kg (in 1993) to 1760 kg (in 2011) – a 51-fold increase in sales! In the United States every tenth boy among ten year-olds already swallows an ADHD medication on a daily basis.
