Incorrect ADHD diagnosis may be the root of Lindsay Lohan’s problems

Are LiLo’s problems due to one bad diagnosis?

Lindsay Lohan’s erratic behavior, which lead to her court-ordered stint in rehab, may have been caused by a drug she was prescribed to treat a disorder she doesn’t have.

According to TMZ, sources at the UCLA rehab facility where Lohan is being treated say that she may have been misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), for which she was prescribed Adderall. The drug can cause mania-like symptoms when used by someone who does not have ADHD.

An addiction specialist TMZ contacted said, “people who take Adderall when they don’t need it can experience similar effects as people who use cocaine or methamphetamine.” Another specialist said alcohol abuse is common among patients who take the drug.
