What happens to someone who has been misdiagnosed and has taken ADHD medication for years?

Nothing. I'm guessing that one doctor told you that you had ADHD and then another doctor told you that you didn't. This doesn't necessarily mean that either one was wrong. Most doctors now will say that ADHD is a disease, but some stubborn conventional doctors still say that ADHD isn't a disease but a personality, or that it doesn't exist. They are right in a way, but whether ADHD is a disease, a personality, or nothing at all, ADHD medications definitely help a lot of people. -DJ Craig

Is ADHD related to Parkinson's disease?

Yes, chemically. ADHD and Parkinson's are chemically related in that both show lower than normal amounts of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. Dopamine plays a role in focus, learning, attention and movement. The dopamine deficiency of ADHD & Parkinson's disease are in fact,so closely related that, these nervous system illnesses have occurred in different members of the same family.More startling is the fact that Attention deficit disorder & Parkinson's disease have even occurred in the same person! In cases such as these, Parkinson's disease is usually diagnosed(much later!) Anywhere from two to as many as five decades after a childhood diagnosis of ADHD. Dementia with Lewy- Bodies(an illness of the nervous system.) has also been linked to ADHD. http://www.lbda.org/node/222
