just found out I had it a few months ago I took pills for 2 weeks they didnt help me concentrate for shit so the doctor kept giving me a higher dose every 2 weeks then we switched perscriptions to new shit and they DO NOT help at all and he's like "If I give you any higher of a dose you're gonna be screwed" and I'm like "well they're not helping because I can't concentrate to save my life and I'm failing all my classes" so he gave me a higher dose its been a week they dont work

Could be seen as an excuse for bad parenting skills.

this literaly makes me angry. how the fuck does being easily distracted by lights and sounds constitute a symptom of ADHD in toddlers? have you ever seen a toddler not get easily distracted by lights and sounds? i surely havn't. to me this just proves how big pharma wants to get children hooked on their meds as soon as possible.

Methylphenidate (Ritalin), a schedule 2 substance, has a high potential for abuse and produces the same effects as cocaine or the amphetamines. Binge use, psychotic episodes, cardiovascular complications and severe psychological addiction have all been associated with methylphenidate.

That's pretty bull. My doctor said I have A.D.D. because I can't watch a full movie. I truly don't get it.

Evidence suggests that the use of the internet as a medium is causing humans to take on symptoms similar to ADHD. The lack of attention paid to other mediums such as print is causing us to develop short attention spans where if something like an article takes X amount of minutes to read, our brain begins to wander because we are so use to processing tons of information in a short amount of time.

It's very interesting, I didn't explain it half as well but it's good enough. Book is The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains by Nicholas Carr.
