No, but it’s overdiagnosed in children
Do you really have to tell a mental health person that you have no discipline over your attention span to get adderall or ritalin?
> is adhd a scam
yes
It's a bi product of the way we teach children changing. There have been people who's mind wanders and can't focus on uninteresting drivel forever but there aren't many adequate ways for them to develop in today's world.
I think I could have achieved way more with those pills, I could never fully concentrate and I struggled most of my life, yet ADHD is not something taken in consideration in Italy so I never got a diagnosis
>Hello re.ddit I just got diagnosed and now I feel valid and it all makes sense!
Why does this happen, anons?
>inb4 go back
It's over diagnosed for sure, but in my case being diagnosed when I was younger would have helped me a lot.
this. kids losing focus sitting at a desk all day is to be expected. like a guy shitting on the windshield of your car while you're in the mickey-D's drive thru trying to get some nuggers and you yell at him and the fat beaner cashier tells you you need anger management
Of course you would have accomplished more, it’s just meth
yes, playing outside in the dirt is superior. school is for girls
Sometimes one needs a little boost
Suck car fumes mother fucker.
Checked and based
It is much easier to focus on amphetamines since things seem more interesting however I'm not sure they help with retaining information. Using them to memorize things could be useful.
I honestly believe adderall would help alcoholics more than kids that can't sit still in class.
No it's likely defense mechanism for dealing with a shitty childhood.
>Why does this happen, anons?
Because
>it's not my fault, it was my faulty brain all along! Now I have no responsibility!
ADHD is just a list of symptons. its like saying sleepy is its own dieses but its just a discription. you cant look at adhd under the micrscope just like you cant look at sleepy under one.
Awe did I hurt your feelys? Were you told you have the ADHDs?
ADHD is diagnosed because discipline is taboo. I would bet good money that the more single parent homes in an area, the higher the ADD/ADHD rate in kids and teens in that area.
Someone gave me a capsule form recently which I never saw before and it literally says amphetamine salts lel
Didn't expect such directness.
It feels similar. Meth feels about 3 times as strong and lasts longer (when taken orally).
no it's real but instead of getting real help jewish doctors get you hooked on pills that have huge long term side effects.
It’s a legit condition, but like anything with big pharma involved it is indeed a scam.
I’ve had clinical tests and it makes a lot of sense, very real legitimate condition but I think it is much rarer than is being diagnosed.
There are some DNA markers appearing that can help confirm but the objective tests they use to measure you are sensible and robust - but some of the subjective reporting scores they use are not at all scientific.
I struggled a lot in school but it’s like a superpower in business where I can manage many things, quick creativity, improvisation and fast learning.
The environment by which you are being judged shouldn’t be overlooked and I think many schools are almost hives to create these sorts of symptoms.
One big tell is that I get no joy from the meds (but they can be useful if I need to do something that needs patience and focus) but my friends seek them out and get a real buzz but I just feel a little calmer and slower which is not what you would expect from amphetamines.
It's sugar intake related. Add a nutritional deficiency of the mineral lithium to the mix and you have violent kids. Violent black kids have a high sugar intake and poor diets.

yes. it's actually severe PTSD caused by infant genital mutilation, physical, and sexual abuse.
I’m diagnosed but the meds fucked with my sensitive autistic. Sometimes I think i identify with it as a cope for why I’m unsuccessful and struggle following through plans. But there is something going on, perhaps a methylation issue. Jewish psychiatrists just see you as a cash cow though. None of the process was scientific. So It’s a good Clown world problem.
I've heard some people say it fucked them up but I work at a concert venue and a bunch of people take it like everyday and it doesn't seem to have any detrimental effects, even when they skip a few days.
The idea has been floated by health professionals that adderall is actually pretty harmless, unless you're abusing the fuck out of it staying up 4 days in a row jerking off.
You gotta pay privately but get in touch with a clinical psychologist NOT a psychiatrist and see what they can do for you.
I had an exec coach for 2 years who was a psychologist with a neuroscience background and it was $500/hr but honestly has paid off way more than that. Happier, healthier, more aware of myself and basically doubled my income and got a lot of career success off the back of these changes also.
Those meds fucked me up. From the mid 90's onwards I was on every single trendy psychotropic drug on the millennium. Ritalin, Adderol and many others that I cant remember the name of. When the adhd meds didnt work they put me on bipolar meds. When those didnt work I got put on schizophrenia meds like lithium. But nothing fucking worked. Those bastards rewired my brain with ssris because I was forced to live in foster care with niggers. Because my parents didnt want me. Because my dad had an affair and my mom tried to murder me with a knife for his crimes. When all I needed was a family and people I could trust. I refuse to take any meds made by big pharama. I dont trust them. And fuck shrinks too. I cant get high or drunk because it causes me immense physical pain.
I have Epilepsy and needed medication to be signed off by some doctor lady. She looked at me for two seconds, asked if I had OCD and forced me to take a prescription for pills to treat it despite me telling her I was fine with my life as it was. I didn't take them but b the fact that doctors in America think it's okay to prescribe pills for made up mental disorders to random adults says a lot. I feel bad for kids growing up now, I barely made it out fast enough as I did.
ADHD is real, but it’s just overdosed and a lot of people diagnosed with ADHD probably don’t have. The brain scans of people who have ADHD are different than normal people’s brains though, especially in the ganglia which is why they have trouble paying attention and focusing. Also interesting to note is the brain scan’s of psychopaths are basically identical to people with ADHD which is why they have impulsivity issues and proneness to boredom
