Personally, I'm pretty certain that these diseases don't ACTUALLY exist except
in certain extreme circumstances, in which case a therapist is needed.

ADD/ADHD is a societal construct as a way to make it okay to "act out" or "not pay attention." These diseases
largely didn't exist until the late 20th century. It comes down to Generations X, Y, and Millenials feeling the
need to excuse their inability to focus because culture in the last 50 years has evolved from traditional child
rearing to "let everyone be a parent in their own special way."

Things like social media, portable music players, and digital media in general didn't exist until the late
20th century either. Interesting. I'm not saying they're mutually exclusive to each other, but I am suggesting
that Generations X, Y, and Millenials insisted that they were "multitasking," when in reality it was a
******-t excuse to do something other than the task at hand.

Take it all with a grain of salt, but by getting prescribed the drugs for it you simply will build up a
psychological paradigm that says that you NEED the drugs to function when, in reality, a botlle
of placebos and you building self discipline from thinking that they're working will ultimately benefit
you better in the long run.

It really grinds my gears when when people speak on !%$* they don't have. Like if you have ADD/ADHD and you don't abuse your meds but you actually need to take the meds to GET THROUGH your day because if you don't things just aren't going to get done then something is wrong with you. Like what the %%%!?

It all comes down to self-discipline and motivation, which are both things that can be taught.
It's the same thing as smoking. You don't NEED them to get through your day.

It's all in your head. I fully acknowledge that some people have harder times than others,

but that doesn't mean that giving it a name as a disease and prescribing drugs is the right thing.

If that's the case, why aren't steroids legal? I mean, some of those people have a legitimately

hard time gaining mass. Maybe we should give that a name and prescribe steroids for it.

And obviously I'm not talking about people with degenerative diseases— those are the extreme

cases where it's obviously appropriate.

I have ADHD. I did something called neurofeedback when I was in 8th an 9th grade. It changed my performance in school an I am nothing like I was before. Age may have a reason to. I not bouncing off the walls no more an stuff

. But all that drug stuff is not cool. I was on Ritalin as a child an it made me gain a lot of weight. Ritalin use to suppress my appetite at school. I would come home. Eat crazy amounts of food when I came down from the Ritalin high

 I would suggested you look into neurofeedback or just move to LA get a weed card an hope for the best.....

This is where we will agree to disagree and leave it at that. You compared steroids to ADD/ADHD meds and that everything is in your head. There is nothing more to discuss. I doubt you know what it's truly like.

Have a good day.

during my teenaged years, i used to have a horrible case of OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).. and do things like the sign of the cross every 5 minutes, lock/unlock doors 5 times before actually leaving the house, circle parking lots for no damn reason, etc (no lie).. 

i went through a horrible phase.. and it magically went away. so i agree with crispytees to some extent..

Having add is not even about being lazy. Our mind is constantly over active throughout the day. Everything we hear distracts us while we are trying to focus on something important. It gets very bothersome when your trying to read or write a paper and random noises coming from every direction distract you.

Back to the subject at hand, OP is in early 20s though. Why are you just realizing this now, where was this problem when you were young? OP acting like he contracted a STD.
