DR PHIL DOESN'T BELIVE IN ADD

I watch Dr Phil on YT as my "washing up show" and today, was watching this episode, at the 6 minute mark, the lady talking mentions her bother was DIAGNOSED with ADD... DR Phil then puts his head in his hands and says ADD is a "wastebasket diagnosis - and that kids like that back in his day were just considered spoilt brats who needed to sit down and shut up"

There will be parents watching this who will listen to this bs over actual advice. This is so damaging!

It seems unbelievably dangerous, misinformed and out of touch for someone like Dr Phil to be on national TV saying ADD doesn't exist, I don't understand how he's not getting cancelled for this, he should be raked across the coals for saying this AS A PSYCHOLOGIST.

Edit: I'm not saying Dr Phil isnt a hack or that before this I thought he was a good person. I'm saying theres a difference to your shitty behaviours having direct correlation with your job. Especially when you have the platform that he does.

Being known to be shitty in the past isn't a free pass for more shitty behaviour?
