Foolproof method of diagnosing ADHD and proof the medication actually works

but I'm sure the geniuses of the OT can debunk this experiment with the quickness.

Bonneh of the University of Haifa used an eye-tracking system to monitor the involuntary eye movements of two groups of 22 adults taking an ADHD diagnostic computer test called the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA). The exercise, which lasted 22 minutes, was repeated twice by each participant. The first group of participants, diagnosed with ADHD, initially took the test un-medicated and then took it again under the influence of methylphenidate. A second group, not diagnosed with ADHD, constituted the control group.

The researchers found a direct correlation between ADHD and the inability to suppress eye movement in the anticipation of visual stimuli. The research also reflected improved performance by participants taking methylphenidate, which normalized the suppression of involuntary eye movements to the average level of the control group.

"This test is affordable and accessible, rendering it a practical and foolproof tool for medical professionals," said Dr. Fried. "With other tests, you can slip up, make 'mistakes' -- intentionally or not. But our test cannot be fooled. Eye movements tracked in this test are involuntary, so they constitute a sound physiological marker of ADHD.

I think the general consensus isn't that ADHD isn't real, but that it is over diagnosed and just about anyone can get meds for it. This could definitely be a turning point though.

I predict lots of bitching and fake doctors in here

I'm all for medical tests that will help properly diagnose diseases like this. It's better than the current system of over diagnosis.

its ironic because no one with ADHD or ADD is going to read all of that 
Posted on 8/13/14 at 7:31 pm to TH03
I wonder if this is only valid for adults. Curious what the results would be for children

I'll never be confused as a scientific mind, but isn't that a really small sample size. And I think one of the underlying issues isn't that medicine is beneficial for true ADHD, but rather is it truly mis-diagnosed and medication over prescribed? If this procedure can accurately diagnose, then fantastic. The issue still remains at which level is medication necessary.

yes, a simple question:
do you have celiac's?
if yes - okay, here's the gluten free stuff
if no/what is that? - go fricking die

One of the few diseases that discriminates based on financial status.......poor people just don't get it, only the well off and those that pretend to be well off ever get it
