Is meditation the best way to treat stress and anxiety, and ADHD? If not please tell the best way of curing?

Answer 1

Pharmaceutical companies and psychiatrist have gone to bed to create one the biggest profit centers in the history of legal drugs.

Ask yourself this question and really think about the answer. What kind of society drugs its’ children to force their compliance with the system? Drugging has become a tool of conformity and control.

The DEA found that methylphenidate had nearly identical effects on humans as amphetamines and cocaine.

This powerful stimulant, that has the highest abuse potential and dependence profile of all drugs that have medical usefulness, is prescribed mostly to children. By the mid nineties, methylphenidate sales leveled off at 11 million prescriptions per year. Around that time the sales of other amphetamines (primarily Adderall, used for treatment ADD and ADHD) increased from 1.3 million prescriptions in 1996 to 6 million prescriptions by 2000. According to United Nations data the United States of America consumes 85% of all methylphenidate production. Of this 85%, 80% is prescribed to children. Apparently, ADD and ADHD are not common afflictions in other parts of the world.

In 1985, 500,000 American kids were diagnosed with ADHD. Today, between over 7 million children in the United States are labeled with this disorder.

What happened in the nine years between 1991 and 2000? In 1991, the United States Department of Education made children with ADD and ADHD eligible for special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Act. In 1991, kids diagnosed with ADHD or ADD became eligible and entitled to extra government funding for their schools. School districts across America now had a financial incentive to label kids with ADD and ADHD.

It is pretty clear that we have become a society that drugs its’ children for financial gain and to force compliance with the system. Schools have a financial incentive, but why would parents drug their kids? Some parents who resist are threatened by schools and social workers. They are told refusing to medicate their kids is akin to abuse.

Many parents cooperate in the drugging of their children, because if their kids have a “disease”, it is not the parent’s fault. Behavior problems are the parent’s fault, while a disease is out of their control. Parents are labeling their kids, so they do not have to take the responsibility for their child’s behavior. This behavior may be nothing more than rebellion to conformity, but nonetheless embarrassing to the parents. Support groups for parents further these beliefs. Not surprisingly, groups like CHADD, Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, are funded by Ciba/Novartis, maker of Ritalin.

Worse yet, they are teaching these kids that they are not responsible for their behavior either. If they misbehave, it is the disease in control. Then they drug the kid and credit the medication for his good behavior. These drugged kids become nothing but shells of human beings, not responsible for themselves and addicted to powerful drugs.

ADD is not even a real disease. According to Merriam- Webster’s Dictionary, ADD is a syndrome of disordered learning and disruptive behavior that is not caused by any serious underlying physical or mental disorder and that has several subtypes characterized primarily by inattentiveness or primarily by hyperactivity and impulsive behavior or by the significant expression of both. There are no physical or chemical abnormalities conclusively associated with ADHD.

Diagnosis of ADD comes from observation of the subject. How can you diagnosis a mental disorder, like attention deficit, by observation of physical activity? The people who diagnose children do not have any idea of the mental functioning of the subject’s brain. By the syndrome’s name it implies that the subject can not keep his attention focused, he has lack of attention. You could possibly say a person’s attention was not on a certain subject, but that does not mean his attention wasn’t totally focused on something else.

Some neurologists believe ADD is a sham. Fred A. Baughman, Jr., M.D., a Chief of Neurology (Board Certified) Fellow, and a member of the American Academy of Neurology said, “In numbers unmatched in any part of the world, U.S. school children are diagnosed and drugged in a quid pro quo association between education and for-profit psychiatry and psychology. Labeled ‘brain-diseased’, the schools have an excuse for the rampant illiteracy and unpreparedness, cause enough for the mounting unhappiness and failure of the children, while psychiatry/psychology gains lifetime patients….. Parents, wake up! Do you really believe that your child, seemingly normal until eight (the average age of diagnosis) has a ‘brain disease’ due to a ‘chemical imbalance of the brain’, diagnosed by a teacher? I don't think so. .... As a child neurologist for 35 years, I have authored original descriptions of real diseases characterized by objective abnormalities. Witnessing the burgeoning numbers of school children said to have A.D.D. and made to take brain-altering drugs, I have found I can validate none of it.”

Over 7 million little “square peg” children line up every morning to swallow down powerful drugs. ADD and ADHD would be better labeled PDD, Parental Deficit Disorder.

First of all you are not stupid. Stress is difficult to deal with. It sounds like you have everything going on in your head at the same time and it is hard to sort it out. I understand how that feels, I was very stressed out for a long time, anxiety was a constant until I felt as if I was losing my mind. Everyone is different, but I will let you know that the best thing that happened to me was when I spoke with my Dr. honestly and let her know how I was feeling. She was able to prescribe an anti anxiety pill that has made a world of difference to me. I am able to concentrate on one thing at a time, most of the time. Sleep is not always easy, but I have a relaxation CD that really helps me to relax and fall asleep. There are many on the market, I suggest that you give one a try. I also think that speaking to a Dr. is a good idea. You deserve to life a life free from constant anxiety and stress. Take a chance, I pray that you will not be disappointed. God bless you and good luck, And again, you are not stupid.

Hey hon,

I suggest using using GABA at night; you can buy it in powder or pills. You need GABA to make a bunch of neurotransmitter that allow you to stop/slow your anxiety.

You will also enjoy Kava Kava. You can buy it at health food stores, the best way to use it is to chew it, but it tastes and feels horrible. I like Yogi Tea's Kava tea, it's soooooo tasty. Liquid Kava is excellent especially from Herb Pharms or Nature's Way.

You can try Xanax, but I don't recommend it. If you live in a state that has legalized marijuana, you could research into that.

One way I am leaving the house more is by riding my bike. It is important to get your Vitamin D from going out 3 days a week for 15 min minimum without sunblock. This helps with neurotransmitter utilization. It you live somewhere dark, get yourself from D3 about 3,000 IU or less.

For the agoraphobia, just take it one day at a time. Try and make little trips to the 7-11, go just to the mail box. Breathing techniques work for some, but not all. Hope this gave you some ideas. Hang in there!

Answer 4

By knowing what you have can make it easier to treat. What I would do is find a way to counteract these patterns that lead you to be anxious and stressed, find out what you do before an anxiety attack and if you are adhd definitely meditate and stay away from excitable situations and when faced with one before reacting remember your condition and just remembering that when you are about to go postal with energy can make you change your reaction. My younger brother is adhd and we always find a new way to make him realise why he is freakin out
