Answer:

This illustrates: Overreliance on anecdotes.

Step-by-step explanation:

What Dr McDonald is using to validate and support his treatment for ADHD are mearly anecdotes, which are not sufficient enough in the scientific field. To justufy a practice or a treatment a professional should consider a theory that has been accurate and has prove of its results.

Overreliance on anecdotes means putting all the justification of the validity of a treatment, only over peopleĀ“s testimony.
