- bayesianhorse 13y agoThere is a very good MOOC on ADHD from coursera, the videos should still be up. I don't think anyone who has a low to medium understanding of the topic can claim that ADHD does not exist. The evidence for the existence is compelling and overwhelming. A short non-exhaustive summary: visible symptoms, effects on specific cognitive tests, reversal of symptoms under treatment, significant changes in neuroanatomy and brain activity in MRI, differences in EEG spectra and severe consequences like lower Income, higher propensity for violence and addictive behavior plus a markedly worse social life.
- code_duck 13y agoThe thing is that I'm more likely to believe its a combination of environmental toxins, food poisons such as artificial coloring and preservatives and incomplete parenting than something that could be treated effectively with more chemicals.
