ADHD: A Real Disease but a False Epidemic

This video is a warning call to those affected by mental distress, directly or indirectly. I want to tell a truth that many people and organizations have kept hidden from the public: 8-9 persons diagnosed with ADHD actually have another condition

ADHD is BULL$HIT... PERIOD, because otherwise everyone who lives on this planet would have ADHD because all little kids are hyper. Unless their parents are disciplined towards them while they are young. Also, how do you really know whether or not someone is actually paying attention? Unless you are some psychic with superpowers, the only way to know if that person you are communicating with is paying attention to you is by reading their mind.

@Coasterfan87 : I find hard to agree with your opinion because even little children can tell when adults are not paying attention to what they are doing or saying. Maybe you should discuss this issue with some trusted friend to hear an unbiased opinion. ADHD is real but the attributed % of presentation is a big lie.

It must be said again: ADHD is a real disease discredited by an artificial epidemic. The overdiagnosed ADHD does not change its reality. This situation is similar to the exagerated statistics on Autism which not even Dihle2 would deny that it is a real illness...or will you?

[dihle12]

adhd is over diagnosed if only one percent of children have it then why are there some many kids on meds adhd is a load of shit there is no medicla evidence that it is real its only a matter of opinion and a money making scheme which the drug companies and goverment love i have 2 words child abuse thats all it is giving children drugs like that how bout trying diet disapline and direction it really works

On more thing Dihle 12: Mental illness is not a new thing: Hippocrates described Mania & Melancholia (BC) and in 1847 J. E. Esquirol (French) reported mania in children. Before 1900 Kraepelin (German) presented cases of "Manic-depressive Insanity." So check this information out and then make an informed opinion.

zeus7623 has made a comment on ADHD: A Real Disease but a False Epidemic:

It seems par for the course to diagnose children (now adults) for adhd. Why? Money in treatment. Also adults can easily fake symptoms to obtain the drugs for a various uses, not of which are medically sound.

Dihle12: We disagree but I like your interest in mental health. You should go to the NIMH website and see how many test for mental illnessess do exist. Also keep in mind that to diagnose apendicitis we don't need a test. We the history and physical exam we can be 99% accurate. Illnesses have symptoms and signs. Think of that and try to put your anger aside and look at this issue objectively.

It will be good for you and those that believe in you.
