nearly 1 million kids misdiagnosed with ADHD (What a surprise)[views:2947][posts:22]_______________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 11:28am - SkinSandwich ""] http://pagingdrgupta.blogs.cnn.com/2010/08...d-misdiagnoses-study-says/?hpt=Sbin I have been saying this for more than a decade. According to doctors EVERY fucking kid (and adult for that matter) has ADHD. I have never in my life seen a "diagnosis" thrown around so loosely. When my sons' teacher told me years ago that he might have it i told her to piss off. He was in a funk for a while, but is fine now. Fuck these people. |

Who can argue against this? Our country is drugged up and big pharma has a stranglehold. Want to know why weed still isn't legal? Big Pharma is one of the main reasons. |

Pisses me off that every little fucker who just doesn't want to pay attention is getting diagnosed because of the pharma hold on patient care. fucking bullshit |

| _________________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 11:45am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Yeah it's a thoroughly valid diagnosis, but of course docs and teachers just throw it around to get kids on the meds and off the not-shutting-the-fuck-up. Intellectual holocaust - in MY school system? It's more likely than you think! |

| __________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 12:04pm - c.DeaD ""] All the teachers/admin tried to put the whole "ADD/ADHD" thing on me. They just could not grasp the fact that I didn't give a shit about school and cared more about music and boner jokes. Ah well, I got on ritalin and adderall for fucking up so it worked itself out. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 19,2010 1:11pm - Yeti ""] i read recently about how kids who were born just before the cut-off date for kindergarten sign-up, say August. 31st, and were enrolled that year were more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than kids who were born a few days after the cut-off for sign-up, who had to wait another year to start school. |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 2:12pm - narkybark ""] it's not true. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 2:13pm - brian_dc ""] WHY NOT? |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 2:13pm - boblovesmusic ""] hmm? whatever |
| _________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 4:16pm - AlxNLI ""] Every child is autistic, misdiagnosed as ADHD. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 4:20pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] AlxNLI said:Every child is autistic, misdiagnosed as ADHD. Quoted for possibly unintentional truth: My autism masqueraded very neatly as ADHD for years, it was only when my brother was diagnosed later in life that we realized it was every damn male in my father's family (we always just called it "the Smith Thing"). |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 4:29pm - Hungtableed ""] so suprise here. Weed is a fucking schedule I drug to the DEA but fucking doctors give kids adderol (which is a form of methamphetamine). Fuck pharmies, support a FARMER! |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 4:29pm - Hungtableed ""] * no suprise here. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 5:41pm - SkinSandwich ""] Elderly fetish or GTFO! |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 5:49pm - quintessence_nli ""] I kinda wish I was diagnosed with this, as I find the occaisonal use of adderol quite usefull honestly. |

| ______________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 6:36pm - the_reverend ""] 1 million prescriptions for me? |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 6:37pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] thanx big pharma |
