In this video, I systematically dismember the ignorant claims of Dr. Jordan Peterson about ADHD that he made in video clips posted to YouTube. Those scientifically unfounded assertions can be found in the clips shown here:
   • Most People Don’t Have ADHD  

And here:    • Jordan Peterson Advice on ADHD | UBC ...  

The very notion as he claims that ADHD is a rubbish diagnosis, a psychiatric fraud and a mere consequence of the inopportunity of boys to engage in rough and tumble play is so outdated and scientifically unsupportable as to reflect a stunning lack of scientific scholarship for someone who is a professor emeritus of psychology, among other egregiously wrong statements he makes in these appearances. Asserting such unsupportable misinformation about a neurodevelopmental disorder can do real harm to those who have the condition in various ways. Our professional guidelines advise us to admit the limits of our expertise. These comments demonstrate that Dr. Peterson has not done so – he is no expert on ADHD and in the future should show more humility when asked questions about this serious neurodevelopmental disorder.
