The ADHD diagnosis and medication use disqualify those interested in joining the armed forces for military service. Furthermore, this disqualification also extends to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), applications are down 84% since 2009, law enforcement, and the US Secret Service. ADHD and Adderall have become an issue, especially for this generation. Therefore, it has a profound effect on our national security. Numerous agencies providing defense and first responders have seen a dramatic decline in mainly male recruitment from the military, state troopers, and fire departments.
The criteria for diagnosing mental illness stipulated in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), particularly Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is crippling the nation's national defense. The current classifications have caused epidemics of misdiagnosis, and the criteria lacks validity.
