How about an explanation from you, Diller, about your media-grabbing, attention-getting stunts? Promulgating nonsense and acting like some big expert. If your practice was going so great, why did you have to resort to sensationalist books? I suspect too many parents found your advice useless and, frankly, screwy.

Thank God for physicians like Biederman. Without them, parents would be stuck with the likes of you.

You're a menace to children, and most likely have some kind of disorder yourself. Too bad there's not even a semblance of something like the FDA watch-dogging you. Instead, you're free to exploit fears, all in the name of trying to have a career. And gullible people are taken in by your act.

Heal thyself, physician.

I truly enjoyed your column; I'm a PT blogger and I was going to write on the subject but you beat me to the punch, and said eveything I wanted to say and more! Thanks for your efforts to keep psychiatry honest...and by the way, good luck!
