Almost all of them had other diagnosis to begin with; usually tied more directly into psychiatri, things such as anxiety, isolating behavior and even outbursts and fits of rage are often interpreted in many different ways. It's the same with ADD; it is the go-to label for the kids that parents and/or teacher can't or don't want to handle, there is gross misuse of the term here in Scandinavia. |
Yeah, it once was that you just had the weird kid (i was one of those, mind, though i never had any diagnosis of anything), and that was the end of it. Now everything has to be categorized. This is not a bad thing in itself, but then it leads people to think there is an "epidemic" of this or that disorder.
