Worst case some MD follows up on a diagnosis done by non-medically trained people and prescribes medications
The trap is exactly as described. I got on the kiddy meth after sessions with a psychologist who referred to an associated MD for a script. The reason I got referred to a psychologist was that the counselor, principal and teacher were playing hot potato because that I often got up and walked around class after I finished work while White. Which was determined to be disruptive. Looking back, I was just diagnosed with being a normal boy with not enough recess.
It's important to have a good MD doing the diagnosis. There aren't many who are good with behavior in kids.
