I had a hard time concentrating in school as well. Always in the principal's office, and got C's in conduct all the way through 6th grade. I thank god my parents never had me 'diagnosed' because I was guaranteed to be labeled 'ADD' and been prescribed medication for this truly bullshit condition concocted by the modern age.
- josephlord 14y agoI strongly suspect it isn't "bullshit" but it is overdiagnosed. It may be a very good thing that you weren't labelled and many may be mislabelled but that doesn't mean there aren't people with real neuropysiological/chemical differences that really do affect behaviour and can be counterbalanced by drugs.

- pixie_ 14y agoPsychology has some of the worst 'science' there is. It's studying alchemy before understanding chemistry. Reading psychology journal articles is painful.
- mistercow 14y agoYou do know that there's a difference between psychiatry and psychology, right?
