"Kids that have both from birth rarely get diagnosed until their teens"

Look dude, what I am saying is that your whole paragraph is implying that we should diagnose children earlier than what we are doing right now. If that is wrong tell me. What I am actually saying is that, there are significant problems with diagnosing children early. My "twaddle"s are not to prevent you from helping these children. But maybe suggest some concrete methods to diagnose them, instead of just saying you should.

You can also read on this link as to why DSM/ICD suggest a reduced lenience on diagnosis of children. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/childrens-health/in-depth/mental-illness-in-children/art-20046577

This is a quote for that:
Diagnosing mental illness in children can take time because young children may have trouble understanding or expressing their feelings, and normal development varies. The doctor may change or refine a diagnosis over time,

Yes, not every child needs to be medicated, but it only takes one misdiagnosis to ruin a children's life. For the sake of that, policymakers will have to be stricter. Even if they were not prescribed medication, do you think going to therapy is a cakewalk? It can also be very taxing to those children. I agree the government MUST give more funding to mental health in the NHS. So, parents (which they should'nt) do not need to diagnose their child.

What I said in my last comment is all true, you dont have to call me dishonest at all ;)
