    Do some research on what ADHD is, your interpretation of it seems to be synonymous with the popular culture stereotype of it, which is far from accurate.

    That comment is …
    That comment is proof you don’t even know what ADHD is. ADHD does not equal stupidity. Albert Einstein is thought to have had ADD, as well as many great thinkers throughout history. I was diagnosed with ADD as a kid, as well as being gifted. Telling me “the more convincing you argue the more you prove it” and to “start writing crap” shows you believe ADHD=low intelligence. You also think ADHD doesn’t exist because it is over diagnosed and you’ve never known anyone that actually has it.

    Why are you rating negative? This is nothin but my honest belief. And it’s serious!

    Are you glad or grateful that you are labeled insane? I really don’t get it. Wake up!
    They start sorting out all creative and sensitive potential out of society, dont you GET IT? This is scary as fxxx.

    No, you’re not ****ed for life.

    That’s your ADHD talking. :-) It’s easy to downspiral into despair when you’ve had untreated ADHD for many years. You get used to nothing you try making a difference.

    But the right treatment can make a HUGE difference. HUGE.

    Don’t give up. If you’ve figured out you have ADHD and know it’s affecting you, you are smart and way ahead of the game. Make an appointment with a good expert tomorrow, okay? And keep the faith. Life can get better. You are YOUNG.

    It’s not a disorder. Your brain’s all right, believe me. (The more convincing you argue, the more you prove it). Start writing crap, then I’ll maybe change my mind…

    Next thing will be, they claim humor being some sort of mental illness. all this bullsh** really…

    Only about 15% of …
    Only about 15% of people diagnosed with ADD actually have it. And out of those 10& of the youth that you claim, in reality only 1-3% of the youth are really abnormal and sick. And obviously society me up, that doesn’t mean I don’t have ADD. I can’t function in this society with my ‘disorder’. I wouldn’t have any problems with my ADD if I grew up in a society that allowed for me to excel with creativity and live comfortably. The whole point is society me up. get it?

    You’re wrong, its not ahsdsh, society you up. They’d defintely test me “positive” but I DONT GIVE A FUCK. This has no meaning, do not beleive these evil, perverted people. They are COLD-HEARTED, don’t you realize that??? If you kill youself and still believe in adhhd it’s still idiotism.

    A society that rejects 10% of their youth as abnormal and sick is DOOMED. That’s all, there’s nothing more to say about it.

    ADD is real, and I’m most likely going to commit suicide because of it. It’s the root of all my issues in life, and yes it is real, I’m finally starting to accept that it’s real and that I have it, but I’m already 20 years old and never accepted treatment so I’m basically for life.

    adhd is a lie. The existance of this hysteria is nothing but a description of the sickness of the society, especially in the US and israel.

    In every text about it, try and replace “patient” or “those who have it” by “any kid” and you’ll see…

    I’ve got my associates and am working on a B.A.

    Granted my education is limited but I say it’s easy to diagnose a hyper activity disorder. (notice i didn’t say ADHD). There are specific behaviors we can see that point it out, that all have to do with dopamine.

    When you’re focused, you’re on a dopamine kick. ever have bug eyes working on the car for 7 hours straight? or see your kid won’t let go of his video game? It’s all interest and 5yos are not interested in geography and math.

    ADHD is not real. It’s fictional. It serves two main purposes. Pharmacists have another line of drugs you don’t need, and reap nice profits off of stupidity. And people who simply can’t get their together now have an excuse.

    I’d immunize the out of my children if I had any. Smallpox is a bitch.

    Fact is, there is no unified test for ADD, ADHD, etc. So, for every child that “needs” the drugs, 39 other children are being fed Ritalin (Sorry for the spelling error. Firefox doesn’t correct spelling for bullshit medication).

    I don’t know where you get the propaganda from, Green(something). I guess that’s your own kick.

    I just think kids need a good whipping. Did me good.

    Forgive the lateness of my reply.

    Good video but a …
    Good video but a fair amount of false information was provided. ADHD is in fact an organic disease having more in common with Tourette Syndrome than with schizophrenia. Attempting to diagnose ADHD from behavior alone, particularly without exclusionary diagnosis is not possible. A family doctor should not diagnose it either.More common todayis social conduct disorder precipitated by family environment. Best indicator of a disease the consistency of the symptoms, not the diagnosis over time.

    I understand …
    I understand antipsychiatry as feedback for the psychiatry - to ensure a humanistic treatment - against electroshock and pro slf-determination as examples. And i dont understand the psychiatric diagnosys as stigma per se. If You dont want go in the army You can go to the psychiater. If You have some mental illnes or handicap, You can use a psychiatric diagnosis to ensure, Your enviroment accept Your special needs.

    Gelder (2006) appears to be in agrement with your ‘political model’ of antipsychiatry while also alluding to the stigma caused by psychiatric diagnosis. I guess the literally definition of the term would denote any thing opposed to psychiatry, an antithesis if you will.

    I think both our outlines of the notion of ‘anitpsychiatry’ are applicable. Defining ‘antipsychiatry’ is difficult as it may allude to a number of stance. Not only that, but clinicans and theorists considered ‘antipshicatric’ often denouce the label put upon them.
