Yeah I don't necessarily want to take medication for it, but I would like to know if I do have it and also have some counselling to deal with it. How are you doing with it now? What sort of things do you do to cope with it?
it helps when i write lists or write stuff on my hands to make sure i dont forget or distracted from what im supposed to do coz everytime i look down ill see it written in my hand so i cant drift off and do something else, and try not to sit near windows in class haha but yeah i just have to remind myself to stop thinking about other things and concentrate on what im meant to be doing doing. And for the twat that thinks its not real, it is, its just that a lot of people self diagnose themselves and go around saying they have it but for those who do actually have it it can be very difficult to deal with especially during school, so fuck you :)
I always have everything written on my arms and hands ha, it doesn't seem to help me though :/ I make lists for things I need to do but then never manage to complete them. How did you get tested for it?
my mum thought i might have hearing problems when i was 8 coz i always forgot to do stuff or appeared like i wasnt listening so she got me tested and they said i had ADD, i dont really remember it too well but i think its pretty simple to get done, maybe ask your GP for info on how to get tested or something :)
Thankyou someone with some logic. World wonders why children are so stupid these days becuase we drug them up instead of leting them out when they are hyper .
Just because the FDA, some doctor, and a scientist tell you that that little blue pill is safe, doesn't mean that it actually is.
Everything Big Pharma does is to make money.
Doctors make money when people get sick, they prescribe medicine. (I have heard cases where doctors admit they don't even know what is wrong with a patient, but yet prescribe a pill for no good reason.)
Pharmacies and Medical Supplies production companies make money when people are prescribed medication or buy supplies. Some of these medicines treat the problem, but most treat only the symptoms. If you treat the symptom and not the problem, you only get worse, not better.
Prolonged usage of some drugs can cause unwanted (by you only) side-effects. Then you can go BACK to the doctor, and he can give you another pill. And another, and another. You know, "A pill for every ill."
Pills are designed to treat symptoms so that you will HAVE to keep buying pills.
Mental disorders are just another tentacle of the monster, Big Pharma. Know one actually knows what causes these "imbalances" in people's brains... and yet we have a pill for them.
(This destructive cycle also applies to Big Oil, Big Ag, Big Banks, etc, etc. Big Oil causes dependency on oil with political interference. Big Ag (look up Monsanto) causes dependency on GMO seeds and has destroyed thousands (if not millions) of beehives by pushing through new systemic pesticides. And Big Banks, well, you already know what they do don't you?)
Don't believe me? Then double check, I'm not going to hold your hand. You do it. :D
I agree not to mention and I know as they told me this in my psychology course most these pills are designed for poeple over 20 . So starting to give them to younger ages was a fun expirement they were giving them in diffrent portians and mixes to see which would work so basicly any child they says has ADD is a test monkey . You idiots are volenteering to be test monkeys and are vonlenteering your children as well do you not love your children ? any parent who does this to thier children is not a parent they are no better than those crakchead moms doing crack around thier babys so I hope all you sick parents burn for your sins . " As the road to hell is paved with good intentions "
I wouldn't necessarily agree to take medication if I was diagnosed, but I'd definitely be open to counselling / therapy. Pharmaceutical companies don't profit from counselling so :)
Use the internet to it's full potential, there's ALWAYS alternative methods out there.
As an example, I just learned of a common plant in the South that almost no one (even elders) know about. Jewelweed. It grows where ever you find poison ivy, and it totally neutralizes it's toxins!
Most times they diagnose people they force them to take medication even if it is something minor and medication is not necessary. If a kid has ADHD or ADD they can legally take the kid away from the parents if they do not medicate the child even if it is such a minor issue as the supposed ADD/ADHD.
I think it is child abuse to medicate a child for something like ADD/ADHD. It makes them stay very skinny and some medications lead to depression. I think the fact a child is hyper ,jumpy ,and has a short attention span is normal.
Try describing what a child is and think about it. They are small ,hyper ,jumpy and do not pay attention. This means all kids are ADD/ADHD and medicating a kid with these issues does not allow them to grow out of it.
Which most kids do after a age so you are messing up the social and physical development of the kid. Not to mention how long it takes for some people to find a dose. Also many doctors say it only works if the child thinks it will. This proves it is having a "Placebo effect" and it is not helping the patient.
They tend not to stuff drugs down children in my country and have a stricter definition of ADD and ADHD than in the USA so fewer children are diagnosed.
Anyway, I'm an adult, all this talk about medicating children doesn't relate to me because I'm in control of my body. I can't be forced to take medication for ADD.
Oh well where do you live? Also yes it does. Would you like a child you know to be medicated? You have no pity for these suffering kids? That is just cold.
The UK - the rate of kids diagnosed with ADD or ADHD is 1% here compared to 10% in the US, and drugs are typically prescribed as a last resort.
Of course I have pity for children misdiagnosed or unfairly forced to take drugs. But you were responding to my comment about how I wouldn't necessarily take drugs if I were diagnosed. And you pretty much focused entirely on children with ADD or ADHD.
I said "all this talk about medicating children doesn't relate to me", then you say it does and I'm being cold and have no pity for suffering kids? You're irrational!
No I am saying it is cold since you do not care about the kids suffering. Also I am starting to wonder about the standards of wanting to drug children and the sanity in it.
for fucks sake shut up, you cant say something isn't real just because you have a theory that because you don't have it it means no else must have it either, there has been research and scientific tests done and it has been proven that it does exist, and like i said i don't take medication for it i try to deal with it myself because the pills aren't always effective and have a lot of side effects, you don't NEED pills for it and it doesn't affect your intelligence in any way it just takes someone with ADD longer to process information. I know i have it because i have had to deal with it since i was 8, you're extremely ignorant acting like you know what you are talking about when you only have an opinion. I didn't even read your full post you sound like your reciting something you read of a blog or website and now think you know absolutely everything.
So since someone believes different you are just going to tell them "Fuck you". It sounds like you are a child talking to an adult. That is no way to win a conversation and it just shows how very stupid you are.
They have tested this and turns out they have no medical research that can prove ADD/ADHD is real. If they have no medical tests for it how do you think it is they can possibly begin to treat it? They can not. In order for someone to make medicine they need testing and research and medical tests to see if something works. At this point it seems they are doing these experiments on kids and adults dumb enough to believe this shit.
Ok, I was going to give you an ass-chewing, but your post is so childish that I'm just going to outright forgive you for it.
"Just because you have a theory.... research and tests done..." It's not only MY theory, lots of people have come to the same conclusion, you just have to know who to ask. As far as the "research" and "tests" done, you just have to follow the money trail. If a too-big-to-fail corporation wants something done, they get it done, regardless of the research, or the law.
"Don't need pills... longer to process information..." I'm glad you aren't taking that garbage, I REALLY am, truthfully happy for that. I know ADD/ADHD doesn't affect intelligence, I said the pills will do that. The pills will damage the brain, look for Ritalin on wikipedia. I know some VERY VERY smart people who are "diagnosed" with ADD/ADHD, so I know. And I have no doubt you have an intelligent head on your shoulders as well.
"Extremely ignorant... only have an opinion... sound like your reciting off of a blog..." I'm not ignorant by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just observational and thoughtful. To me, it only makes sense that money rules the world right now. People in power have money. Corporations have money. The rest of us live paycheck to paycheck. If you want to know if my "opinion" is in whole or in part truthful or not, you would have to do your own separate research. Keep an open mind, and NEVER let anyone tell you what to believe. You must think for yourself. If you can do that, you'll find the truth in the world.
"Didn't even read your full post." Now that just hurts my feelings. I go through all that trouble to make a valid point, while trying to be concise and nice about it... And you didn't even read it?? Makes a girl wanna cry... I only wrote such a long post because I figured you might discuss the topic like an adult, but I guess I misjudged you.
While you aren't completely mature, you still sound smart. You actually questioned what I said, which is a start. Now question others, question power and authority, question ritual and day to day actions, question everything. Trust nearly nothing (especially the main stream media, lol) and then you'll find truth.
And for the twat that thinks its not real, it is, its just that a lot of people self diagnose themselves and go around saying they have it but for those who do actually have it it can be very difficult to deal with especially during school, so fuck you :)
No sir... *enthusiastic voice* Fuck you!
[/sarcasm]
ADD/ADHD are as fake as they come.
The medicine is designed to dumb, numb, and calm kids into submission and causes damage and shrinkage to the brain. LOOK IT UP.

It may sound corny, but nature WILL provide!
Good luck!!!!
