[Shibito]

My boss had ADHD. Worst working experience I've ever had, and absolutely a big deal. Having to ask why I hadn't gotten paid was kind of frustrating.

Then the lying to cover it up, of course. "I paid you yesterday!" Sure, sure.

If you think thats cause of adhd you are a lost cause.

I know it was because of ADHD. I know for a fact he has ADHD, and yes, he has trouble concentrating on the task at hand, which then lead to him forgetting to do all kinds of stuff, such as paying me, mainly because he started 20 different things throughout the day and then tried to juggle the few he managed to hold his concentration on, pretty much ignoring the rest.

Your personal experiences with ADHD aren't the same as everyone else's.

You don't need drugs to control ADHD.

Except in cases of asthma and HIV we have physical evidence, depression as well. We don't have any for ADHD and the "symptoms" most people have at some point.

Neurologists (who study the brain) don't see any signs while psychiatrists endorse it because they're in bed with pharmaceuticals. It's well known in the medical community and not some conspiracy.

Dopamine levels are different

[Themius]

I have to paste this:



Now tell me, which living person doesn't have any of these? I'm telling you, I can find my self in most of these things from the list and with age of 29, working as programmer and graduated as bachelor in IT, I do not have ADHD. I just know that no one can force a systematic behavior to each individiual person. ADHD comparison with HIV and Asthma is plain stupid.

What I find very...I mean, super abnormaly stupid is saying "Kids are not supposed to be hyperactive. They should be little droids with full discipline and focus of an adult". Good luck with that. There was also another bullshit "diagnose", I saw a month ago and I got infracted for that. Infract me for this if you want but now that I am saying this because I want kids to be less opressed by adult pricks and let kids be what they do best - be kids.

"Kids are suppose to be hyperactive" uh huh... I really don't think you understand ADHD, and how children with ADHD and NT children operate.

Do you think ADHD is just this thing that like doesn't exist at all or something? I have ADHD there are quite some differences, and issues unless I'm medicated. Primiarly with memory, inattentiveness (i forgot what people are saying while talking because I wondered off in thought, or I'll just forget what my main point was mid sentence but I can still completely say my sentence i just forgot why i'm even saying it even though it makes sense), patience, and inability to sit (I'll walk a few miles indoors around my apartment sit for a minute maybe to do something and then i'm up again).

big pharma makes up brain scans!!! Everyone is in bed with them!

ADHD isn't real. 90% of the world apparently has the symptoms of it.

Just because almost everyone has headaches doens't mean they have migraines

I've never understood the headache thing either. But people whine about them all the time and use them as excuses to not do work, not talk to people etc. So I at this point I begrudgingly accept that they're either real, or I'm an outcast on a world of whiners.

When you get blind and throw up from migraines I think that's reason not to go to work

This is actually a pretty decent metaphor.

No you're an outcat and a whiner about things you deem don't exist.

Anyway I used to suffer fro migraines when I was younger I don't get them anymore, there is a difference, a debilitating one.

I have ADHD you say it's not real because most of hte world has the symotoms but no... when a person learns I have ADHD it's like they try to say everyone has it and then tries to say how they have it becaues of "one" thing like "I have a little ocd becuase I like my things organized" like what? No you don't have OCD.

There are literally differences in the brain's structure and the way the brain works and different levels of dopamine in people with ADHD.

True, and people seem to be "great" at self diagnosing migraines

"what are the symptoms?"

"like really bad headache"

....Grats, it's not a migraine.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Self-diagnosing is retarded and demeaning to those with a real diagnosis. Think you might have ADHD? Then go get the diagnosis from the professionals. Most people who self-diagnose, end up not getting one when they seek professional evaluation. These disorders are very much real, which is why you can't get a diagnosis by just believing that you have it.

It's very much real. You're just ignorant, which is your right, but it is not an excuse to spread lies. The people questioning the reality of ADHD are akin to the people believing that vaccines cause autism. The major medical groups all acknowledge ADHD as being real.

Bingo

I'm glad that nowadays my migraines end before any headache. Typically I just get a really annoying flashing jagged edge worm traveling through my field of vision and at worst I get really dizzy and nauseous. About 20 years ago I'd get those things and a splitting headache would follow.

But, that's off topic.

In a world where you have the breadth of human knowledge at your finger tips is a simple 10 second google search not worth your time.

Chronic Migraine syndrome is something I had as a child.. Fucking nightmare.

Seriously, staying uninformed when one has access to the internet is pathetic.

I guess we can discard everything that doesn't have physical evidence, going by your "logic".
My mother was diagnosed with ADHD in her adult years, and when she finally received medication, the difference was incredible. She went from being irritable, unable to focus, unable to stand being around strangers and extremely sensitive to sounds to being the mother she was meant to be. I tried one of her pills once, and I reacted badly to it, because I don't have ADHD.

That's just Big Pharma propaganda, can't you see?

[Gilian]

Just eat less sugar.

such riveting bs advice.

Probably decent advice for someone who self-diagnoses ADHD. Some kids drink 5 cans of redbull daily and whatnot, no wonder they have symptoms.

Here is some advice, do you have serious symptoms you can't live with? No? Then leave it alone and move on. Yes? Then go see a doctor.
