I had to reach the bottom of the page to find the only 2 commentors that understand that ADHD is an umbrella diagnosis and medication is often a crime. And of course both are downvoted to hell and about to be flagged and deleted.
Who the fuck would medicate a 5 or 10 year old child for being "too active"? This is like the 50s shock therapy for unruly teenagers, but done with chemistry instead. Less blood and morbidity, more mental castration. Many people who take up Ritalin and Adderal, especially from a young age, have issues with mental development and end up addicts for life. If/when they finally take off their meds, they find themselves 10x worse because of the long-term withdrawal.
This thread is filled with reddit-tier pseudoscience about ADHD being some kind of evolutionary trait relating to hunter gatherer communities. What a load of bullshit, I don't know if I should be laughing or not. It's worrisome that even serious people and many psychologists believe that shit.
- smittywerben 9y ago> end up addicts for life This is an archaic idea, you sound like an older individual. Am I right on that? > reddit-tier pseudoscience... downvoted to hell We can test for ADHD just like we do breast cancer. > medication is often a crime... ADHD [is an] evolutionary trait... What a load of bullshit Impulsivity is a sin, right? I'm not some puppet for your chuch, pal.
