ADD is bs. Tourettes is where its at.
I have never been around someone with ADD(that I know of), have never looked into it, probably will never look into it. I just like going against certain people on certain days of the week, today itās you. ADD is a rumor, that 8.1 truck sucks ass, and the buick will rape your maxima in a race. :love:
:spank:
i donāt knowā¦ i wonāt get into itā¦ just seems like a bunch of bogus, ambiguous BS>ā¦ so what are they claimingā¦ that people with this ādisorderā lack the physical connectors to their nervous system? what EXACTLY is the issue with someone when they have ADD?
what is perplexing is the fact that you go and type in for a search for something like mesothelioma and you come up with actual sites with actual information on the physical aspects of asbestos related cancerā¦ then you type in attention deficet or anything add adhd related and itās a huge fucking billboard for shit pills and miracle drugs
i donāt knowā¦ i know people that claim to have the disorder and i know people thta have been ādiagnosedāā¦ and all i see is prescription drugs being sold so that healthcare companies see some $ and doctors see some $.
Iāve also seen people that have this ādisorderā complete tasks objectively and fully, as well as, giving up and claiming they ācanāt do itā.
so thatsā my basis for the argumentā¦ people that have this disorder have been seen completely and objectively completing tasks that āshould notā be able to be completed iwth this problem. I honestly think itās just the person lacking focus on something they have little interest inā¦ when people hate their jobs and cry about not being able to complete tasks, itās because their miserable and doānt WANT to do their jobā¦ when kids canāt sit through class because they canāt learn, itās because they donāt WANT to suck it up and learn.

you do realize you are trying to rationalize this to a person who things pot should be legal.
i think pot should be legalā¦ do you konw how many people in the US smoke it illegally? there is a huge market, that for nothing more, will open up new jobs and production of productsā¦
i think that cigarettes should be illegal and shit that IS GOING to kill you.
i think they both think it should be legal.
I think it should be legal just so they can tax it and keep my taxes lower. But they would just pocket the extra money or piss it away somewhere else, fuck politicians.
i agree with you to an extent. Im sure there are plenty of people that would like to use ADD as an excuse, but there are people that do not. Im sure there are tons of people on ADD drugs that dont really need to be. And this undoubtably takes away from the publics conception of the disorder. But there are people out there that really do benefit greatly from ADD drugs.
and on a side note, the governments prohibition of pot and the costly, totally ineffective āwarā they wage against it is one of the biggest hypocracies/wastes of taxpayer money in modern society.
i honestly would like to know what is physically wrong with someone with addā¦ canāt find it online, gotta sift through so many adās for pills itās annoying. i guess it has something to do with a person not being able to control their nervous system? or something like that?
no it supposedly has to do with your neuro transmitters in your brian. The same transmitters that affect your moods, depresion, anxiety, and so forth. Unfrotunatly I donāt believe this and Iām with shaler on this. Trying to claim that not beable to pay attention is due to a chemical imbalance or misfire is BS. Work on it a bit mroe and I;m sure you can pay attention.
anyone remember the south park episode with ADD? that was pretty funny
:offtopic:
i have 3 cousins with BAD ADDā¦ like bang your heads on the wall bad. two were NOT diagnosed and two are goth kids now and the third who scored over 1500 on his SATs was. my brother was diagnosed, after the medicine he went from failing to honor roll.
yes a ton of ppl get meds bc they are lazy or their parents canāt PARENT, but that doesnāt make the disease fake
those are the connectors to your nervous system arenāt tehy?
"Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a neurobiological brain disorder that manifests as a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that is more frequent and severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. ADD begins in childhood, and, has only recently been understood, can persist into adulthood as well. While some children outgrow ADHD, about 60% continue to have symptoms into adulthood. The disorder manifests differently in adults as hyperactivity tends to diminish. "
sounds like total BSā¦ still no real information
Well, thatās the beauty of the brain. Itās a mystery and we have very little understanding of it. I donāt know how people can say that chemical levels or things like that donāt have an effect on how people act. Of course they do. Itās just we donāt know how or what else also impacts the brain.
But, itās like all drugs. Itās easier for a doctor, no matter what kind of doctor, to give drugs then to actually try to really diagnose the problem and most people see the commercials and make themselves believe that they have these conditions. Iāve talked to parents of kids with ADD, sometimes kids in the early 20ās, and they tell me how much better the kids are once they are on medication. I also work with a guy who says he has a ālearning disabilityā yet I see him learn all kinds of stuff. I think someone told him that when he was little and heās believed it all his life and itās held him back.
Do you really think everyone thatās taking Viagra really has a medical condition? The drug companies are spending just as much or more on advertising than research and development of new drugs. Itās bs. There are tons of people taking drugs for no good reason. My doctor understands that I only want medication if itās the last possible option.
I think Darkstar is smart enough and it does sound like this really is a case that medication can help. Thereās very little information on any psychological disorders.
Yes, I have a degree in Psychology - all the hot chicks are in Psychology classes.
:boink
While Iāve never met anyone that had ADD (not that I knew about anyways, I have met some crazy bounced-off-walls people though), my mom (after being prescribed anti-depressants for crying at her doctorās appointment) swears by anti-depressants. I think itās ridiculousā¦
Some people may actually have a problem, for most I think itās all in their mind. They donāt have the desire to control their feelings, they medicate them.
dumbest post ever
edit: no itās a tie with some of the other posts in this thread. we can do stem cell research at a cellular level but medicine canāt help CHEMICAL depression or hyperactivity. fuck, they do MRIās that show the drug making previously affected areas calm down. fuck half of you are the science over religion bunch so now science drops teh ball and itās back to 1950ās archie bunker armchair yinzer pyschology? choose or lose bitches.
cool post :bigthumb:
Did you even read my post? I meant that some people may actually have a problem chemically or whatever, most people are being medicated for nothing because itās all in their mind and what they are willing to change about themselves.
IMO.
