Fred Baughman, M.D. - Fred A.Baughman Jr, MD, is
board-certified in neurology and child neurology. He states it is
the medico-legal responsibility of neurologists, not psychiatrists,
to determine who has a brain/nervous system abnormality-- disease--
and who is disease-free--normal. Dr. Baughman has discovered and
described real genetic and neurological diseases. He was among the
first to dispel the mistaken notion that the XYY genotype was a
"criminal" genotype (1970). Dr. Baughman witnessed the rise of
ADD/ADHD, which was never discovered, but voted into existence by
the American Psychiatric Association for the DSM. "I saw growing
numbers of children referred by their teachers, labeled, drugged,
and made psychiatric patients-in-perpetuity; none of it the
legitimate practice of medicine."
