I think the problem people have with ADHD (and many other disorders) is that it simply attempts to put a name to a combination of certain behaviors/brain functions. It's crossing from saying a child is extremely mentally and physically active to saying the child HAS something. It's a label, not an actual "disorder". These kids really only have a problem when they're placed in understimulating environments.

@potsticker11 Seriously? What does that even mean?

@cubyegrl4 you have never picked up a book have you. let me add a new word to your vocabulary: paper, yeah, some of them have letters on them.

@JenkemBOMBS 1. there ar brain tests you idiot, and there are photos to prove it.
2. for people that cant afford brain tests they give them questions and see if they have traits like people with adhd.
3. people with adhd/add have a weaker front part of thier brain, you obviously dont have a brain at all

yo! Attention to the facts!

This one is for JenkemBOMB. Yes, I think parents shouldn't give there kids drugs in the first place because they need to develop and experience the world with the mind they are given. But to say that something doesn't exists because some abuse it, is completely ignorant. You apparently don't have ADHD. And I am happy for you. Because you will never have to suffer with disappointment in yourself. You will just live life blaming others for your faults. Take care and try to think of others first.

@JenkemBOMB That wasn't my logic at all and the fact that you think it is shows what a genetic retard you are. I've looked at your page and you're just a toe-rag troll with no intelligence or substantiated arguments. Your points have no validity or strength and your ignorance is blinding. Thank you and have a nice day.

So here's your logic. I don't think ADHD is a real mental illness, so I probably think Homosexuality IS a real mental illness.
Pretty retarded right?
There is absolutely not a single shred of evidence to say ADHD is a real mental illness. To be "diagnosed" with it there doesn't have to be any brain tests. Just some quack sitting there asking you questions.
"Is your kid inattentive", "Does he get sidetracked", "Does he not focus in class"
Its imaginary you fucking retard.

@JenkemBOMBS : The logic to my comment/accusation was that 'homosexuality as an illness' is just as ludicrous a misconception as 'ADHD as a fictional condition'.
ADHD DID exist in 1986, it just wasn't RECOGNISED (and no, I'm not yelling in caps, I just can't do italics here). You have no evidence, you are an opinionated ignoramus with strong misconceptions.
Your. A. Idiot
You're an idiot. I think your last statement is quite telling.

No homosexuality is a sexual preference.
If Im calling ADHD a fake mental illness that is imaginary, then you would have to be a retard to assume I would think homosexuality was a disease?
Where is your logic in that accusation?
In 1986 ADHD didn't exist. In 1987 it was voted into existence, because some quacks decided a low attention span and a inattentive personality was a mental illness.
Their intentions? To make profit from selling amphetamines.
Your. A. Idiot.
Bravo!! I 2 have ADHD (severe).I wasn't diagnosed until the age of 37yrs. I have an IQ of 149 "the girl most likely to succeed". It wasn't until I was professionally diagnosed and put on Ritalin that my life PROFOUNDLY changed. My mother cried saying that for the first time she has her daughter back. I AM A RECOVERING DRUG ADDICT. B4 BEING DIAGNOSED, I KEPT RELAPSING AFTER 2 OR 4 YRS OF ABSTINENCE. Since being treated I am over 9 and a half years clean and sober.I plan 2 do a video on ADHD

I was diagnosed at 19yrs old. I know Mark, the boys and the whole family personally. Mark does not talk shit and he knows exactly what he is talking about. Mark diagnosed me and my life has completely improved. People who knock this man and put down ADHD are people who live in denial and just bury their heads in the sand. This condition exists and it is very real. I know this because I live with it 24/7. Walk a mile in a person shoes who suffers from adhd and see and feel what they do each day!!
