Dr. Alex Nataros, a family physician in Port Hardy, shares his experiences both personal and professional with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
In a recent column, Nataros described ADHD as “Perhaps the most over-diagnosed and simultaneously under-diagnosed condition.” He elaborated on those comments on People First Radio.
“We’ve all got our phones and devices, and we’re all in a million places at once,” he said.
“There’s so many drivers competing for our attention. So in that respect, you could say maybe over diagnosed in that everyone thinks they have ADHD. At the same time, the number of people that actually have a formal psychiatric diagnosis made by either a family doctor, a psychiatrist, or a certified mental health professional is too low.”
