  • ADHD can be a neuro-condition in which the part of the brain responsible for regulating executive functions doesn't work right... ADHD people are often BLESSED with the gift of creativity and imagination, but paying bills, holding down jobs even keeping the house clean enough not screw up relationships can cause big problems... People need to recognize both sides... the good and the bad...

  • Yeah everybody dismisses it out of ignorance.

    I'm in the process of getting referred to a clinic at the moment.

    People who dismiss it are idiots and usually have no idea what it's about. Ignore them at all costs.

  • That guy was right. I have had ADD my whole life, but because I wasn't bouncing off the walls nobody noticed. It is easier to notice the kid who is constantly yelling than it is to notice the kid who is constantly day dreaming. That's why I wasn't diagnosed until I was 19.

  • How can professionals deny this. I have suffered all my life because of their ignorance.

  • .who lives and breathes and draws outside the box of monotony (and the priesthood of the criteria as found in DSM IV, V), that is to say from Bill Gates to Einstein, to Beethovan, is diagnosed. Do you realize that Ritalin is reconstituted speed (meth)? Creativity and neurodiverse thinking is view as pathology. Welcome to Huxley's 'Brave New World.' In fact you can take entire (whatever vestiges remaining, aborigine populations placed them in NY and watch the med's prescribed in a blink of eye!

In all actuality pharmacology had been advanced,and the profits of runaway bio-psychiatry complex reined supreme, as they do today, you would have heard far, far less if anything, or of an extremely poor quality at best as his name (or his creativity viewed as "aberrant behavior" particularly as a school-child who would not sit still, would have been sacrificed in the name of Pathology. It is NO stretch to say, that any one who is not an automaton .....continued

  • @Neilgs Mozart died of poverty at 35, mainly due to poverty. Maybe Ritalin could have given us a lot more music from his hand.

  • smoke weed, it's a good medicine against ADHD.

  • Just take the drugs. The drugs will cure ADHD. Drugs are always safe and effective. The benefits of drug taking always outweighs the risk of side effects. Take the drugs because the drugs will make you well and you will not want to kill yourself because of taking the drugs. Get some drugs guys!
