The Scientific aspect of verifiable proof is new. ADHD diagnosis by Brain SPECT scans show it. Dr. Amen, from Amen Clinics(Google it)has many 3D diagrams of ADHD Untreated and Treated.

You are so wrong. When im on my medicine, i can think about one thing at the time, an dont get worried. When im worried and feel angsty, When im not on medicine, I dont really know WHAT im worried for. Im almost free from anxiety when im eatin concerta. But when concerta's effect falls, My anxiety comes back. And its because of my adhd. Im restless, walking around, allways moving stuff around, to keep myself awake. And thats ADHD. Nothing fucking else.

ADD and ADHD are over-diagnosed. They're also real. Actual, medical ADD comes from faulty dopamine receptors in the brain, and is very different from having a short attention span (i.e. the "too much tv" theory). People with ADD (I'm one) feel that concentrating on something tedious but important is like lifting a boulder with your brain. Maybe you can do it if you try rrrreally hard, but it's physically tiring, so you look for ways to avoid it. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

if you're aggressive go take some anger management classes. your depression is probably caused by depression.. what makes you depressed? THINK ABOUT IT. depression and ADHD are NOT THE SAME THING! maybe you just have an anxiety disorder. which is different from adhd as well.. when you're anxious you tend to think a lot, naturally. so don't confuse it with adhd..

more on my theory: my sister was diagnosed with adhd (but we stopped her prescription), how was she prescribed?: the assumption of the presence of this "disease" is solely based on the observation of the doctor of the behavior of the child.. i think this is VERY wrong! you can't give a kid drugs (especially this powerful) adhd is not caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. it is not caused my mercury in vaccines either. and these guys are a bunch of idiots

i think that ADHD does exist, but i think it stems from a person's environmental upbringing/environment in general and has nothing to do with "chemical imbalance". but its just a theory.

because of my adhd. REAAAAD ABOUUUT ADHD! ffs. All the thoughts in the persons head is making it IMPOSSIBLE to not get worried about nothing. It makes the person depressive. And, like, when im sitting on my lessons, without meds, I cant concentrate because all my thoughts in my head is running around, Im hyperactive and cant work with something for more than like 5 minutes. With concerta, I'm able to concentrate and remember things better. And when someone makes me angry, im not as aggressive.

You're so god damn right! I know how it feels. I hate it. So bad. But im allright when i on Concerta. And its not fucking "mind altering and dangerous drugs". My brain is a functional place now. And you're so god damn right!

It's caused by mercury in vaccines, and excessive television viewing. More so by mercury, however. The scientists know this but they do not publicly acknowledge it because it incriminates those in political positions and also in the medical field, or some acknowledge it but this is never shown on television. It makes you realize how controlled the media, especially tv, is.

Even though you won't care about my question I would like to ask you, why were you depressed and not able to focus before taking these drugs?
