It isn't something in the brain you can point at like a tumor - it (seems to be) an difference in the development of structures or the concentration of neurotransmitters that everyone has - so a diagnosis can only be made based on whether these differences are impeding in some way. That's why it doesn't really make sense to say it isn't a problem when how problematic it is is one of the diagnostic criteria.
- xenoterracide 18y agoIt's not diagnosis that concerns me per say (although it does in kids). The problem is over medication. I was on ritalin for so long as a kind my body became resistant. And now I've been told I may have been mis-diagnosed. I don't think I had a problem other than school was boring, and I was always ahead of the curve. I wasn't like the rest so I had a problem and they had to try making me conform. It's this need for us all to be more or less like everyone else that is the problem. There has been some speculation by people that public school (and probably even non public) exists but to drain the individuality, creativeness, independantness, etc, from us to make use perfect obedient corporate drones. When school fails they push prescriptions.
