Interesting.
There's a hypothesis about ADHD that it's a trait of evolution for Hunter-gatherer lifestyle, with even a few studies favoring the opinion. But that doesn't explain many symptoms of ADHD.
Btw, with many 'gifted' children having ADHD, I am curious whether there is any reason / correlation for it.
- lookingforsome 6y agoThen why in the western world do so many adults and medical professionals try to suppress ADHD with amphetamines? edit: do you happen to have a source to this theory of linking ADHD to the evolution of hunter-gatherers?
- alphameese 6y agoI don’t think it’s correct to say ADHD is being suppressed. People with ADHD take amphetamines to make daily life easier, like actually being able to stick to a schedule, or maintain a clean house.
