Subject: ADHD/ADD is still considered a disorder?

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

This popped up while looking at youtube vids. It was an add with the dude from Maroon 5/Moron 5 (lulz). He was saying he has ADHA and "dealt with it." Then later said to "own it."

Anyway, long story short, ADHD and ADD considered a disorder still. For kids, it's called BEING A FREAKING KID WITH ENERGY!
For older people, it's called social media desensitizing us.

Yes i understand there is no link. Just my random night thoughts.

What do you all think of this?
Do you think it's really a disorder or just in their heads=nature humanistic behavior whilst having energy?

Not really, you also can't process information as fast as others, have bad memory and short attention span.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

They have medication for it?...if that's what you're wanting.

As a person who grew up being told I had ADD, I can safely say that all the crap I went through was total Bull. They made me take Meds to "Straighten me out" when I was just bored. They wanted me to sit down for literally hours on end (at least High School let me move about between classes) and learn things that not only completely bored me, but wasn't useful in the slightest when I got to Middle and High school.

When my parents finally decided to take me off them in 7th grade my grades sky rocketed. Everything before that was just a huge waste of money and time on our end.

I've got a teacher that claims to have ADHD so he can ignore annoying students. He's a freaking genius.

Also, anything anyone says from maroon 5 doesn't matter.

"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings; always darker, emptier, and simpler."

I take medication for ADD, and can attest that it is indeed a disorder.

Hello.

I think it is a disorder, because Attention Deficit (Hyperactive) Disorder is the loss of thought, and Hyperactive being it causing added energy to actions proceeding the loss of thought.

I don't believe that most of the kids that are "diagnosed" with ADHD actually have anything wrong with them. More likely, their parents never punish them for their out of control behavior and they think they can act as crazy as they want to. People are becoming worse and worse parents these days.

The problem is that it's very overdiagnosed, the hyperactivity thing is just temporal and will wear off as you get older, but it's just as real as autism is

This basically sums up what happened to my brother. His grades were and he didnt pay attention in 4th grade, so they put him on pills. His grades didn't improve so they got him a tutor. His grades went up a bit and they were saying "Look the pills worked!" My parents saw through that and got him off the pills.

Or it was something like that. If he were online he could explain it better, i was young for the whole ordeal.

Not saying it isn't a disorder, i have no way of knowing, but there certainly seems to be an issue of perfectly healthy kids being diagnosed with AD(H)D

Use your head. The one on your shoulders. No really, just try. Please?

Given how crappy the education system is, I'm surprised more kids aren't deficient in their ability to pay attention than those who have been labeled. School is -blam!- boring. If you're above average intelligence there is really no challenge, only grind. If you're below average intelligence you are in a fish bowl, and if you're average you blend into the furniture.

I have a hard time believing so. I doubt I started to excel afterwards just because the material I was being taught was useful/interesting. It was practically an immediate change. And the thing is I wasn't in the hyperactive department.

i'm actually reading this article right now

it is a real disorder, it's just hard to distinguish ADD/ADHD sufferers from lazy and energetic kids

This is generally correlated to the adaptation of technology, less weighted allowances, permissions, and rights, as well as giving children the ability to essentially do what they want, and do badly in school.

This is coming from someone who is still in the middle of high school.

Yeah, i don't think the medications works at all, it has no real cure just like autism only "excercises" to try and grow out of it.

But isn't autism like.. super serious though? Like it's not something to "cure" per-say, but rather something to learn to live with? Meaning, it'll seriously change your life as well as others.

Idk. My brain thoughts. XD

The medication does in fact work, but it is not a cure, true.

I don't need no stinking signature!

It's a disorder, but the criteria for it's diagnosis has been getting way too liberal in recent years. There are many kids who seriously need their medication to function sucessfully, but way too many doctors have been handing out the meds for any 'problem kids.'
