I understand that there are misdiagnoses and kids are getting drugged for no reason. Some kids just eat sugar cereal and pop tarts for breakfast and cant pay attention at school. But I am 26 and I need medication. When I take addarall I calm down and stop moving around so much. Sometimes it is the only way. If TRUE ADHD isnt handled in time, friendships, jobs and relationships will be affected. I only wish that I would have had drugs sooner.

Long terms studies now show that ADHD drugs are no longer effective after a three year trial. The people taking the medications develop tolerance and addiction to the drugs but no longer see an increase in performance.

You probably do need the drug because your body is addicted to it and without taking it, you will being to experience withdrawal symptoms like agitations, lack of concentration, fatigue, etc. The only way to calm down will be to the drug you are withdrawing from.

ADD is a make-up illness by greedy drug companies? Is there any real mental illness?

[psychetruth]

There are real central nervous system/brain disorders which neurologists address such as MS, Huntington's disease, strokes, brain tumors, etc. Most "mental Illness" are psychological problems w/ out any physiological bases. That's why there are no biological markers for psychiatric disorders.

When I was a child, they called it high-strung and spirited, and these children were valued! (smile) I know because I was one of those children and have always been high-strung, and so are all my children and grandchildren. My oldest son's third grade teacher called me to school and suggested "we" should have my son tested and "we" should maybe put him on drugs. Needless to say, she was in tears when I left that meeting, and we never had another. (grin)

I was the opposite,unmotivated and quiet I would look out the window meditating on the trees (always finished my work first),I was said to be antisocial and a "daydreamer", told I had to learn to participate more in class discussions,I loved the (supposed) ADD kids as they would stand up for me and say she just doesn't want to talk hands in the air "pick me" I loved their energy. They should not have to change, forced change does not work, people eventually react badly to bad reactions.

everything he just say is true and government know that, ADHA is just name isn't disease. remember selling this kinds drug help boost the economy making new job or creating new line work or new curriculum to study in school....hello. and if you feel like taking pill be my guess but make sure you do legal way or you might have spend more money, and which i wouldn't feel sorry for you, cuz u just put more people to work and boosted the economy again either way.

[latinita1988]

my god!and making money is all that is behind it!what kind of an empty life is that!

[meisterslx]

adhd is a lie. The existance of this hysteria is nothing but a description of the sickness of the society.

In every text about it, try and replace "patients" or "those who have it" by just "kids" and you'll see...

[nesson2005]

Absolutely true

First it was television as a means to dumb our children. It's easier to parent ignorant children, see.

And now, every child that is hyperactive cannot sit still because their parents do not parent them while they watch their adult programming.

When television does not calm a child; drugs will.

It's a sad time for growing children in our world
