This post needs to be relegated to the humor pile.

It was great. Satire on several levels.

One – there are more boys with these issues than females. Two – referrals to psychiatrists are more common for boys than girls. Three – there are differences in reporting.

Given your experience, what do you think is the reason for the above differences?

And would you agree that there is a parallel, with girls more often diagnosed and medicated for mood disorders, while boys are more often diagnosed and treated for ADHD?
