Love it. I've made the breathing addict analogy several times myself. Great minds think alike. Also, I agree wholeheartedly that the main problem is misdiagnosis, not overdiagnosis, not that that isn't a valid issue. But if we focus on that too much the pendulum could swing too far in the other direction and just give us a new problem as opposed to solving it.
YAY! Hey, that quote wasnt mine, it wasnt mine i tell ya! LOL very insightful video! =) My oldest son actually has Tourettes Syndrome. He has a combo of ADHD, Tics, OCD, and some behavior disorders. He has been off meds for about 5 yrs now due to complications from them. But I have seen kids labeled as ADHD who clearly have lack of parental discipline and not ADHD, but big pharma doesnt make money with that. And youre right, people SHOULD be having sex! WOOT! haha thanks for the reply! =D
@jakluk4 lol from the looks of it, yours was my one and only view, but that was enough to make it worth it :p
ADHD, OCD, and tourettes tend to overlap more often then I think people are aware of.
OCD and Tourettes actually have a lot of genetic markers in common
Plus I can vividly remember a few times when I was given too much ADHD meds and I started having motor tics lol. Its all a giant confusing web of humanity and brain stuff :P
