Meds ruin peoples lives because people get the idea that since a doc said it's ok t take then it must not be bad for you.
Idk just my opinon, I guess I'm "normal" and alotof my boys have "ADHD" and I call t bullshit, just a excuse to get high.
Well, if you think ADHD doesn't exist then I'm afraid to say you're a fool. There is no possible way to know the evidence for ADHD and conclude it's non-existent. It has more proof than Autism and Bi-Polar.
There's public misconceptions born out of media ignorance, they poke fun at it without investigating it just like anybody who dare question or propose anything that pushes anything other than the Government's agenda. And people like you get your opinions from newspapers.
Do you realize how many review boards a mental health condition has to go through before it even gets accepted. Rigorous testing and debating, non-stop affirmation and citation. ADHD is 100% real, you cannot create a mental health on a whim and have it accepted into the scientific community.
There is now eminent brain-scan proof whereby they scanned the brains of adults without ADHD vs. adults diagnosed with it. What they found was that adults with ADHD have different brains. They're lacking in the executive functioning area of the brain. This deals with working memory. They also have a lack of natural stimulant - Dopamine (a neurotransmitter used for internal attention). This is why people with ADHD cannot internally stimulate as well, they need external entertainment constantly.
You quite clearly know nothing about it so get your head out of your ass, go look into the facts and come back with an informed opinion. Fucking philistine.
PS.
the first paper on ADHD was published over 100 years ago. Before they even used fucking Ritalin. Ritalin is a basic stimulant, not specifically designed for ADHD - it acts like cocaine - it increases the domaine steadily throughout the day. As this is what ADHD brains are lacking, this puts their attention level on a normal scale and allows them to function.
