Subject: ADHD/ADD is still considered a disorder?


Posted by: Swagoth Ur
There are many kids who seriously need their medication to function sucessfully


That's because they're dependent on the meth/amphetmaines. It's sickening that they give developing brains a strong psycho-stimulant.

I myslef take Desoxyn sparsely now, but only because my brain is developed.

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

There's REAL ADHD, and then there's the illness kids claim to have so they can get away with random, loud outbursts

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

It's sad that ANYONE is given "drugs" in means to "cure" you.

How bout, let certain things be and develop??

This stuff, find your own solutions first. If they fail, then seek doctor help.

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.

Posted by: Dragondude8o
The problem is that it's very over diagnosed, the hyperactivity thing is just temporal and will wear off as you get older, but it's just as real as autism is.

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


Autism has a wide spectrum of severity, from people who can't function in normal society even with meds, to people who most would just consider quirky.

Just like most mental illnesses. The problem is a lot of doctors end up diagnosing people who display only mild symptoms and may not need chemical treatment.

I hope you never have to care for anyone. Modern medicine is extremely important when used properly.

Depends on the severety. Mental illness is a very real thing, and someone with severe ADHD or any other disorder definately needs their meds to control the natural syptoms. The problem is defining the line of severity, and a lot of kids get put on medications without even getting a proper diagnosis.

If someone actually has a condition like ADHD or any other recognized mental illness to a severity that it impacts their life, they need their medication to keep it under control.

Have you not been reading past posts? Referring to those who don't actually need it due to parents.

I understand today's medical field is needed and the medicine is in high demand when it comes to treating the right people for the right needs.

Also, I have a 1 year old son who had to live in the hospital for the first 3 months of his life. 2 open heart surgeries, a lung placation and put on ECHMO/life support. Takes Regleton, Omeprizole, Sildenafil and 1 or 2 others.
He's now trached and doing pretty much a normal/regular baby does at 1 years old. Rather would walk than crawl.

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

It does genuinely affect some people.

But it is an easy diagnosis for a naughty child or just one full of energy. Can't blame the parents oh no!

Remember how most kids used to hurtle around outside in the streets and climbing trees? How many do that now? Not many.

I don't think it is a coincidence that as overall physical activity declines the rate of ADHD increases.

I don't think anybody is saying ADHD/ADD are not real disorders. What's being said is ADHD/ADD, like most forms of autism, are incredibly over-diagnosed.

Far too many kids are being put on drugs because they're doing what kids have always done.

Man you're a -blam!- idiot OP, and everyone who believes it isn't.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

I have it. I taken medication for it. I went from Cs and Ds to straight A's while taken medication. I guess some people are just misdiagnosed? I don't know. My memory seems to suck and my focus always wanders.

Hell I have a hard time staying with one project and finishing it. I make countless careless errors that people looks at me and go "how?"

We are talking about ADHD, right? I must say, coffee does help me.

Join the Halo Haven group!

I think it is a disorder, but it's one that can be completely owned by the person who has it and controlled with a little control and if parents are a more strict. I don't claim to know all about it, and i'm sure there are more sever cases that are harder to completely control, but with all the medication thats around it cant be impossible to lessen.

Basically, I think it's just an excuse kids use to be annoying little -blam!-s.

I am a monument to all your sins

I have it, and it is nearly impossible for me to focus for more than a few minutes at a time during class. I was on meds until the 7th grade, and they didn't seem to help. I'm thinking of trying them again though, because while I could get by on my own smarts in High School, it is really hurting me now in college.

My third year teacher tried to get me on Ritalin because apparently I was too much to handle even though I was just bored in class because I already knew what she was teaching us. My mum told her to get stuffed and transferred me to a different school where teachers knew how to stimulate brighter students.

I'm very glad I wasn't put on that mind-numbing medication

I'm not going to lie some meds do not work. There are meds that DO work but it differentiate from person to person. If you want to experiment ask for a small dose to see which one helps.

Debates are like jaw breakers; you eat away at one layer, only to find another lying beneath. Also, they cause people to choke up and die sometimes. True story.

I truly don't think it is.

Growing up, I was diagnosed with, among other things, ADD, and Tourette's Syndrome.

Tourette's was a genuine disorder, and it has taken me most of my life up to this point to be able to control my motor ticks- teaching myself how to channel my twiches through more useful things, like music, or even videogames, going through light therapy, trying medications, etc. Im 21, and I STILL find myself losing control of my ticks in public, and it can be pretty humiliating.

My "ADD," on the other hand feels like a joke of a diagnoses. I was probably one of the more focused kids in my group of friends growing up, and I always got good grades. I graduated HS with a 4.0, with mostly honors courses, and Im at the top of my class in pretty much every college course I've taken, despite my apparent "lack of an attention span."

So, no, I think the ADD/ADHD is, at least at this point in time, extremely over-diagnosed, and in no way a legitimate issue in MOST cases. Not all, of course, but many, if not most.

I'm glad that I wasn't on Ritalin then?

At least 75% of my peers say they're diagnoses with ADD/ADHD. If most people have it, it makes it seem pretty normal to me.
