Lindsay Lohan wrongly diagnosed with addiction, claim docs
August 20th, 2010 - 2:30 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Aug 20 (ANI): Doctors who evaluated Lindsay Lohan at UCLA are urging for her early release from UCLA, after concluding that she was misdiagnosed with drug or psychiatric problems.
Sources familiar with Lindsay’s treatment at UCLA have revealed that there’s a feeling among doctors that Judge Marsha Revel “overreacted” when she ordered Lindsay to stay at the facility for 90 days.
The doctors have declared that the ‘Mean Girls’ star does not suffer from any addiction problems that were previously diagnosed.
It has emerged that Lindsay has been “weaned off” all of her meds — Dilaudid, Ambien, Adderall, Zoloft, Trazodone and Nexium — and has had no adverse reaction.
Likewise, she has had no withdrawal issues in the alcohol department.
This, according to the doctors, means that Lindsay is an addict, reports TMZ.
And, reports suggest that Lindsay was misdiagnosed in the past with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which is why she started taking Adderall.
The UCLA docs say LiLo does not have ADHD.
As far as having psychiatric problems is concerned, the doctors again say it is just not the case.
Morningside Recovery — the rehab facility Judge Revel initially chose for Lindsay — determined she was bipolar, but the docs at UCLA say she is not.
Sources have revealed that Lindsay suffers from a personality disorder, which is all too common in society and sometimes partly the result of difficulties when growing up in Hollywood.
Reports say that the doctors are recommending an early release from UCLA-they think the maximum amount of time she should spend there is 30 days, followed by outpatient care. (ANI)
