No evidence, speaking from personal experience and the belief that ADD is over diagnosed.
I don't find it hard to believe there are millions of students unable to focus in public school. What I find hard to believe is that medication is the answer. Sure its an easy answer for those teachers to have their students sit quietly in the classroom for 50-90 minutes with little interruption and be expected to focus on subjects that relate little to their life with little or no control over what and how they study. I was diagnosed with ADD, and I had these views about 12 years ago to when I was diagnosed. I'll stick to cabbage, green tea, and the occasional meditation to help with my so called add.
- josephlord 14y agoI'm glad that worked for you. And medication is probably not the answer for millions of students although there maybe tens or even hundreds of thousands for whom it is necessary and life changing. "I therefore all" is clearly a fallacy although a very popular one. It is really a form of anecdote and deserves no more weight than any other particular anecdote.
