Do you think ADHD is real or do you think it is just kids don't burn off energy sitting in front of the TV?

Answer 1

I truly want to be politically correct, but I gotta say it. Not real. These crazy things didn't happen in the old days, no stress disorders, insomnia, alcoholism, drug abuse, it's all a 'disease' now, nobodys at fault for having any faults. I know, put all your little thumbs down, I really don't care.

Answer 2

oh it's real, no matter how much I have that poor kid running around , he plays football and prctices 4 nights a week and has games on sunday, he has more eneergy than he know's what to do with . He goes to bed at 9 and some nights dosen't fall asleep till 2 in the morning. He is not allowed to play his video games, or use the computer during the week and jumps on his huge trampoline outside for hours at a time, he has a go- cart and a quad so he's always outside playing...it's real believe me!!!

Answer 3

I don't think it's real. It's bad enough these drug companies are feeding us this crap about we need to take drugs if we're depressed, have insomnia, have heartburn, etc. But I think they have gone way out of line suggesting we need to give our children drugs to calm them down. 50-60 years ago this mess was never heard of. No one complained about their children being too hyper or can't pay attention to things. But then again, back then, people had their children doing some type of work. Not having them lay around all day watching TV and playing video games. I think it's all a conspiracy for the drug companies to make more money. If your child is too hyper, sign them up for some type of active hobby like Karate. If they have a problem paying attention, cut out the TV and video games and have them read books.

Answer 4

A bunch of losers spouting off on the web saying a neurological conditions isn't real doesn't make it not real. The medical community agrees it is real, and they use actual science, not uninformed amateur speculation. See the link.

Answer 5

Screw being politically correct, I think it's not real. Nor do I think this post-partum depression bull-crap is real, nobody wants to accept responsibility for their own behavior. it's all a 'disease' now, nobodys at fault for having any faults. It's all a scam for the pharmaceutical companies to rake in more money.

Answer 6

I agree with both of those statements I just think doctors are too lazy to put effort into their jobs anymore and just want to get you out of their office so they tell you anything to shut you up

Answer 7

its definitely real..based on a chemical imbalance in the brain and the actual true way to identify it is through blood work.

Answer 8

As usual I think you've got something there. No one had it when we were kids and our parents MADE us play outside!!!

Answer 9

both
