I'm so glad my parents didn't take the advice of my 2nd grade teacher. They knew I wasn't "slow" (as she said) and they sought a second opinion. They were then informed I was of normal intelligence, but that I had simply never learned to read. A lot of parents are quick to take the opinion of educators (even when they're not looking at the child in question through eyes of delight). I was lucky, I caught up and now am in my fourth year of university studying psychology, and earning straight A's.

I would just like to thank Dr Breeding for all the helpfull videos, I have watched alot of them so far and you can learn more real psychology from him right here for free on youtube than spending 150 per hour from some drug dealer M.D. Lucas Ferrier

@Reghedable I've just started loading up on drugs actually:) And so far so good, no complaints! I'm a bit confounded by those who seem to enjoy their adhd? Makes no sense to me, I like who I am but I would prefer not to have certain difficulties. It has taken so much time and energy - a real struggle. I think one's view of adhd probably depends on the severity and one's ability to cope.

Load yourself up on drugs if you'd like, mate.
But, coming from someone who has gone through tons of meds to no avail, it's ultimately a waste of time. You need to learn to master yourself, and no amount of drugs will do that for you.
And as for the bad name thing, you make it sound as if ADD/ADHD is some sort of disease.
It's a difference, that's for sure, but a detriment? Not really. Just a different way of thinking.

@Reghedable Of cours there are people who have been dealt a worse hand, who suffer much more with greater odds stacked against them. However, it is very annoying with the antipsychiatry movement who think councelling, diet and exercise are the solution to all problems. They are wrong, and when one is going through a difficult period it is very easy to get annoyed with those people and their idiotic preachings. As far as giving a bad name, I don't know what the hell you mean by that?

You know, it's things like what you just said that give us a bad name.
Yes, it's been a struggle, I've been drugged on a dozen different medications and I've dealt with nightmarish school situations... But all in all, my ADHD has given me a gift veiled in the fog, a sixth sense of sorts when it comes to people and an extremely quick mind.
Value your unique gifts, because I guarantee you that there are worse situations out there.

The problem is not you, it's the millions of other children "claiming" to have add/adhd. Instead of trying to help people like you, what people do is use it as an excuse so they don't have to work hard. You on the other hand, obviously have something you're struggling with, right? Isn't it an insult for 20% of society claiming they're afflicted with something so they don't have to be responsible?

I started taking meds today for the very first time. It has taken this long, I've tried to get help for a long time, but finally I get to try the meds. Concerta (methylphenidate). I don't know if they will work but at least I get to give them a try. I'm happy that you have a great marriage, mine failed and it's very hard for me to establish relationships. I guess people with add/adhd suffer the symptoms in varying degrees and some are better able to cope than me. I've had a really tough time!

I have adhd 33, my mom has adhd 63, my sister has adhd 27, but no one have ever tried medications yet, My mom is an architect, she also has a second BA, now she is retired but she used to make a great income, my sister dropped school but now she owns a business, I have a great marriage and 2 college degrees. yes our cars & homes are always cluttered & we are loosing our keys 24/7 but who cares? its not the end of the world. embrace the positive side of adhd, life is too short and precious!



why bother?
just pump some amphetamines or cocaine-like compounds into your child!
its not a drug addiction if its for "ADHD"!

"its not a drug addiction if its for "ADHD"!"
Just because a drug is prescribed for something doesn't mean you can't get addicted to it? Many people are given pain medications for pain, they are highly addictive however and people develop physical and psychological addictions to them. Same w/ anxiety medications, amphetamines, etc.
Why bother to be a good parent? Just give them drugs.
