I'm certainly not going to say that Lindsay Lohan didn't make a lot of bad choices, and probably partied too hard (which isn't that surprising considering what happens to a lot of other teen -> adult stars), but I do think the judge was trying to make an example out of her. (I think I read somewhere that her % compliance with mandated AA was basically on par with the norm, but I don't know how true that is)Sources familiar with Lindsay's treatment at UCLA tell TMZ ... there's a feeling among doctors that Judge Marsha Revel "overreacted" when she ordered Lindsay to stay at the facility for 90 days.
We're told 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. Bottom line -- the docs don't think Lindsay is an addict.
And, we're told 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.
And finally, as for having psychiatric problems -- again the doctors say it's 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. Our sources say 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.
Our sources say the doctors are recommending an early release from UCLA -- we're told they think the maximum amount of time she should spend there is 30 days -- followed by outpatient care.
I think they were saying her dad was the one who pleaded to the judge that she had a drug addiction too. (The more I read about the home situation of the Lohan's, the sadder I get too. Talk about dragging your kids through your bad divorce, damn. Her dad might *mean* well, but he never gets enough of the story to act well, probably because Dina essentially brainwashed all her kids into hating him.)How many of those original doctors were really tasked by Dina and Michael and the rest of the hangers-on with protecting the "meal ticket", and not truly watching out for Lindsay's best interests? Keep those vultures away and see what happens.

Much appears to hinge on her prescription for Adderall, which TMZ claims was given to her after a "misdiagnosis" of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The speculation is her dependence on the much-abused prescription drug "may have been the reason she went off the rails." This blame-deflecting assertion is backed up by one Dr. Joe Haraszti, an addiction specialist who seems to like being in front of the camera: He's weighed in on everyone from Corey Haim to Mel Gibson. Dr. Haraszti says a non-ADHD sufferer taking Adderall can get a rush that's not unlike cocaine or methamphetamine, with side effects manifesting as "manic" behavior, such as "driving around until all hours of the morning ... smoking heavily ... tweeting ... and texting all night long. They can become very impulsive."
In other words, what would be a typical Monday for LiLo.
This. I noticed this while there, too......A lot of people are misdiagnosed with ADD these days. Because people are fucking morons and America is over-medicated.
