I see a medical professional before i was like 6 and her say i have all of the thing's what i have post i have it on a page somewhere in my room.

Sadly I was informed a couple years ago that I have ADD by my doctor, but the positive side to this was that I would hyper focus on my passions, while also failing to focus on anything I didn't really care for. Luckily SRL is a passion! :)

Justin can attest to this…when I had the random idea to make the GroupMe private message responder I worked on it for like 18 hours straight, haha.

Don't take this the way, but I would't count online tests as being credible to diagnose a person with a mental illness. Personally, four years ago, I was diagnosed professionally with ADD and insomnia,and from my experiences, there is a lot bigger difference in the outcome when there is a medical professional in the room, as opposed to ones that claim to be a medical professional on the Internet.

Point being, is that anyone can make a test and throw it online and claim they are a professional. It's not a trustworthy source.

You mean back in the day before they actually diagnosed it? ADD does exist, it's not bullshit, it's a real condition that affects millions of people. It's over-diagnosed though which is where a lot of the problems with it come from.

The first rule of the Internet is that you don't self-diagnose on the Internet.

The facts in the OP are known to a lot of people who are members of the same communities as you. You're pretty public about it (no offense, just an observation).

Go into a situation expecting a result, (especially an online quiz where you are the sole test subject) and you'll receive the expected result.

Me and my Sweetie was bored so we done this but i do know i do have it all from my GP I know her from 2004-2015 :-)

Down-Under; In Australia, we had some of the highest diagnoses od ADD/ADHD - prescribed drug rates for ADD/ADHD in the world. This was particularly so in the 90's when school with over 20% of kids on such drug received extra government funding.

I don't support the "official story", that ADD and/or ADHD can be rectified with drugs; as i have seen countless people i went to school with now in the mid to late 20's feeling the effects of being on Ritalin, Dex-Amphetamines and/or both.

Some have been prescribe for 5 years, some even over 20 years. How can a doctor justify giving kids a form of "speed" to make them settle?


I am in a strong agreement that there is a more underlying issue here; I believe that we inherent Mineral deficiencies from our biological parents and also traits through our environmental upbringings. I have seen first hand and many people around me using minerals and basic products to cause massive positive effects in their lives.

Immunization is a major leading cause in many ailments… the evidence is out there to read.

To be honest, I don't believe in ADD or ADHD and I've never heard of it until I came to this country (Canada). I believe it is actually bullshit.

The kids here don't get out much so of course they're going to have extra energy. In the caribbean, there is no such thing as ADD or ADHD or any of that.

Diagnosis for paying extra attention or for not paying attention or w/e it is.. sounds extremely stupid if you really really think about it. Some kids are just more fidgety than others.

You're most likely to pay attention (extra attention) to something you like and pay little attention (extra little) to something you hate. ~ ADHD/ADD/some other disorder.. We need a cure or medication or something..

Just doesn't sound right at all. I've never ever seen or heard of some of the disorders and things like this until I travelled to North America. Some of them are absolutely extra stupid and people here will claim science to it almost 100% of the time.

I understand what you're saying, but it sounds like you're coming from a position of ignorance on what ADHD actually is, and that public misunderstanding is why it's so overdiagnosed. It's not just paying less attention or having excess energy. You can be a fully functioning adult who exercises daily and plays sports and still be affected by ADHD.

Inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are the key behaviors of ADHD. It is normal for all children to be inattentive, hyperactive, or impulsive sometimes, but for children with ADHD, these behaviors are more severe and occur more often. To be diagnosed with the disorder, a child must have symptoms for 6 or more months and to a degree that is greater than other children of the same age.

I don't know the percentages, but you're correct, ADHD was overdiagnosed in Australia in the 90's and early 00's, but the problem is easing now. The Ritalin debate is also ongoing, with more studies needed on ADHD medications to settle it, but it's no secret that Ritalin and other psychoactive stimulants have a noticeable, provable positive affect on children and adults with ADHD.

This, however, is 100% wrong and completely irresponsible. Not only is ex-Dr Andrew Wakefield a lying fraud who was paid money to discredit the MMR vaccine because he wanted to sell his own version for financial gain, he has been stripped of all qualifications and shamed by the academic community. On top of this, hundreds of studies have been done to disprove the so-called "evidence" that he published and attempt to revert the dangerous and deadly misinformation that has been spread ever since the vaccine-autism connection myth began.

I will say this in bold for emphasis, there is absolutely no link between vaccines and autism. Vaccines are not 100% harmless, but neither is any other form of medicine. There are possible side affects to every medicine, but vaccines have proven 100% through THREE HUNDRED YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY to be an affective prevention of dozens of life crippling or ending diseases. Remember that time you or one of your friends was killed or left crippled for life because they got polio? No? Oh right, that's because we've been vaccinating against it for decades!

As for our health being a product of our environment and biological inheritance, you are also correct. But simply taking mineral supplements or the like isn't going to do anything to cure or prevent deadly immune diseases.

I don't think you have a very good understanding of what ADD and ADHD are, which is understandable since that's not what you're used to. I understand that in some cases what you're saying is correct. In many cases "ADD" or "ADHD" are diagnosed for what is really a case of "bad parenting". If you're interested in even weirder ones, look up "ODD" (oppositional defiant disorder) and "borderline". "ODD" is something along the lines of "Doesn't listen to anyone" and "borderline" is something like "Does anything (including suicide attempts) to get attention" from my vague understanding.

You're making a very grey area (mental illness) into a black or white discussion. There are many children who simply can't focus on ANYTHING. You can wear them out with hours and hours of exercise a day and they are still unable to focus on their tasks and not fidget when sitting. My girlfriend works at the Children's Hospital in our city in the Mental Health unit. She gets cases where the kids are diagnosed with something and the cause is bad parenting. She also gets cases where the parents are extremely supportive and try everything they can and still need medical help for their child. In both of these cases, the children need help. They just need different kinds of help. Just because these symptoms may be caused medically or by parenting doesn't mean that a good health care worker can't help. A lot of them don't need drugs for their conditions, it isn't like they immediately force drugs on a kid. They try other options first in most cases.

Just my $0.02.

…

Every single person here can name the drugs used to "treat" ADD and ADHD: Ritalin, Adderall, Prozac, etc.. I can't name any other solution except a psychologist. The fact that crap like this is really considered a "disorder":

"ODD" (oppositional defiant disorder) and "borderline".

is just doctors making money off of you guys while making your kids retarded. I've seen the happiest most active kids in elementary turn to brain dead boring sleepy kids. Then when they finally accept what they're told they have, they just use it as an excuse for some mistake they don't want to take the blame for.

This is one of THE most diagnosed "disorders" in existence and it's ridiculous. Everyone seems to have it. There are many neurologists that don't believe it and many that do. But can you prove it?

Being a supportive parent is one thing. Being an assertive/strict parent is another. There are parents that will support their kids doing ANYTHING because they're "supportive". That doesn't mean they're a good parent.

This is similar IMO to how people believe everything Dr. Oz says because he's a doctor..


With Caribbean or Russian parents, you won't stand a chance with ADD. You'd pretty much get the hyper-activity beat right out of you.

aaaaandddd that's why I hated taking vyvanse. Got straight As tho.

Every time I would see the Doctor I would complain how it would make me not hungry and every time there was a 'new' ADD/ADHD medication 'oh this one won't make you not hungry' SMH their all amphetamines

Taking ADD/ADHD medicine is just like taking medicine for mental conditions like depression and anxiety - it might help with the symptoms but it's not really solving the underlying issue and becomes a crutch (unless you have like legit chronic depression/anxiety)

I can only name Ritalin and Adderall and that's only because someone I know has ADHD.

You seem very cynical about doctors and their intentions. Psychoactive stimulants don't make children "retarded" and they're certainly not prescribed for no damned reason. They are over prescribed because ADHD is over diagnosed, not because doctors have some secret hidden agenda to get as rich as possible by cramming drugs down children's throats.

I'd also like to point out that Borderline Personality Disorder is a very real psychological disorder that I have personal experience with. "Doing anything for attention" is a gross misunderstanding of the disorder (although to be fair, Garrett did say "limited understanding").

From: Brandon

Yes, I can. As far as I've seen, the arguments that most neurologists make against ADHD either comes from a lack of acceptance of psychology/psychiatry (I don't blame them, shit seems stupid half the time) or a desire to base everything on the biological aspect of the human brain. There's a huge difference between the two distinct fields. As mentioned before though, ADHD is frequently over diagnosed and that is a very serious problem because it leads to positions such as yours that it's total bullshit and it's just kids being kids. It's still worth pointing out that ADHD does NOT only affect children. Teenagers, young adults, and mature adults can all be affected.

I think what Garrett was trying to say is that the parents of those particular children aren't just ignoring it and pretending it doesn't exist. Rather they're doing their best to make sure that the child is actually diagnosed (or not at all) and gets the treatment that works best for them. There's nothing wrong with being an assertive/strict parent so long as it's not harming the child in some way.

I'm sorry, but that's just plain bad parenting. Scientific ignorance isn't an excuse for physically/verbally abusing a child.

I want to be very clear that I apologize in advance if any of my statements sound like I'm angry. I'm actually pretty pissed off and this will be the last time I reply to this thread, because your proud ignorance is extremely inappropriate. I will however try to reply to your statements in an orderly manner in order to get the point across.

As I mentioned before, my girlfriend works in the Mental Health unit in the hospital. I couldn't name a single drug used to tread ADD or ADHD, except Ritalin which I vaguely remember from a kid who took it in elementary school. The fact that you can't name any other solutions is worrying. Most cases that I hear about are behavioral treatment with supervision from Psychologists and highly trained staff (people going into social work, etc). "Crap like this" kills people all over the world. Kids take their own lives because of "crap like this". I've lost count of the number of times I hear "a kid tried killing themselves tonight". I just heard on the news that a group of kids killed themselves in my city a few days ago. They had been discharged from the Mental Health unit a few years ago.

By "supportive" I was saying that the parent is not a "bad" parent. They are a parent doing everything they can to make sure their kid is able to live a happy and healthy life. Whether that be through traditional parenting or requiring mental help for their kid, it doesn't matter. A good parent is a good parent and there are many of them who are unfortunately in a situation where their child is not "100%" mentally.

Regardless of the fact that ADD/ADHD are overdiagnosed (I agree with you, it is), there are still many people out there suffering from completely legitimate mental illnesses. It would make me happy if you never had to see mental illness, because it's a terribly sad thing to see.

Thank you for the clarification. You're completely right, my understanding is based on vague stories from work. After some reading, I've found that Borderline Personality Disorder is usually only diagnosed in adults. Kids displaying these traits are simply said to have "Borderline Traits" and it usually comes across as impulsive behavior based on the need for attention. Some good reading on BPD can be found here. I know someone who has a sister with BPD who refuses to get treatment. The quote that sticks in my head is "Every night before I go to sleep I expect a call saying they've killed themselves or someone else".

I think you've covered the rest of the points well, so I'm glad I don't have to make myself angry going over the rest. Goodbye thread, maybe something good will come from you.

Kinda late, but a few months ago I was diagnosed with autism and I was actually told that these online tests are mostly bull.

So, you should go and see a professional and get assessed. It can help alot in 'real' life too opens up alot of support. :)
