Attention deficit hyperactive disorder diagnosis continues to fail the reliability and validity tests
Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, Vol.49(6), pp.497-498
2015
Abstract
Professor Florence Levy’s November 2014 opinion piece, DSM-5, ICD-11, RDoC, and ADHD Diagnosis, represents a shift in tone, but not core belief, from 2002 when she was 1 of 84 self-declared ‘leading scientists’ who signed the International Consensus Statement on ADHD. In the International Consensus Statement, the evidence supporting the validity of attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) was deemed to be equivalent to that supporting ‘the laws of gravity’ and the ‘periodic table’, and critics were dismissed as ‘flat earthers’.
