Yes, every child in the United States is diagnosed and given stimulants for fun, unlike enlightened Europe.
It might be over-diagnosed in the United States. I sure think so. But that does not make the effects of the disorder any less damaging.
At any rate, perhaps you might consider whether Europe is under diagnosing disorders like ADHD? Or, perhaps your have an incorrect understanding about ADHD diagnoses in the US?
- herbst 6y agoTo be fair i have adhd (as child and adult now) but my doctors always agreed that stimulants arent necessary. I think this is the main cultural difference, not that its underdiagnosed
- gremlinsinc 6y ago> my doctors always agreed that stimulants arent necessary Is this because it's looked down on? Are you able to function perfectly as a normal adult? i.e. all the symptoms from the top posts are in check through habits, etc? If so, what's your secret? Because just living is very difficult and that's WITH vyvanse+2 energy shots per day with l-tyrosine, taurine, b6, b12, b3 and at least a little l-theanine per day.
- herbst 6y agoNo not really. More because i dont really like getting hyper and there is no job i have to wake up for everyday to unholy times. In my last real job i took amphetamines (dextro*) but that made my general mindset worse. Ritalin made me straight up dont like myself anymore. I too take l-theanin, b-stack and ashwagandha everyday these days. I am far from a perfectly normal adult. I never tried getting there tho
