Just another BS title for the people working on the DSM, and a doctor to extend his legacy by creating a catchy, all-encompassing term that stands to plague the world for decades.
You're not ADD, you're all-wound-up because your sitting in a chair for 8 hours a day only to come home and do homework for another hour, sit down and eat for another hour, shower, hygiene, etc for another hour, then finally bed. Nowadays kids spend probably a minimum of 12 hours doing sedentary work. Now combine that time spent sitting with a diet high in sugar, caffeine, and artificial food...
OF COURSE YOU HAVE BUILT UP ENERGY.
The recent work of Doctors(mostly Psychiatrists) is absolutely ridiculous and the people producing the fodder for mass hysteria (ADHD, ADD, Schizo, etc,) need to be held accountable for the mis-diagnosis they've created in the society(not to mention the lawsuits they're going to be facing when in 10 years we find out that the reason for all of these new mass-diseases are these new mass-drugs))
The ONLY classification of "addiction" should be to things that have TRULY addicting chemical qualities that can be proven in simple placebo A/B testing.
All OTHER work is worthless because in the human mind, anything is liable to become "addictive". I can become addicted to carrots, that doesn't make carrots "addictive"(chemically) and doesn't necessarily warrant a doctor prescribing me with loads of drugs or classifying me inside of some kind of medical label for the DSM.
The only reason sugar is treated any different is because the potential fame and money. Not the mention the likelihood nowadays that the study was funded by the same corporation that stands to benefit from the results.
* I can only hope that my generation is the one that stands to really study how powerful the mind and the body are, rather than today's generation of simply patching the problem with a bandaid called Adderall.
