anyways, ADHD is a scam.  its just yet another thing that doctors can "diagnose" and therefore get paid more.  don't every say you are ADHD.  just tell people you are hyperactive.  you know they have a syndrome for having messy handwriting?  its called "disgraphia".

but whatever you do, just don't get put on medication.

I disagree. Most doctors are good and care about your health. You can't blame them for speaking the truth about something you have.

This advice is dangerous, doctors care more about their profits than your health. This holds especially true in the US where ADHD pills are most over prescribed.

Going on pills only benefits doctors and pharmacists who profit off the pills and teachers who would rather deal with a zombie version of you.

The best way to deal with this is to train yourself to use better habits. These include following a schedule, working on things early, and rewarding yourself for following schedules.

Of course doctors care about their profits, but they don't care about them more than someone's health. That is outrageous. The reason they become doctors is not only do they want to make money, but they want to help people. You have to trust your doctor. And if something seems wrong, talk to another doctor.

Getting off topic, are we? PLEASE. Make a debate topic or something, but get this debate outta heeere.! (WOW, just thought of the sea dogs... GO SEA DOGS!  )

No it's those who Can't focus! I HAVE THIS PROBLEM, So PLEASE just put this debate in a DIFFERENT TOPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Read the entire series... because I had a little cube puzzle next to me. i take it apart and solve it whenever I'm going to get distracted, but I sorta "Live in my books." I can focus, but I feel like I'm on a sugar high after. And That's not pretty...

No, doctors definitely care more about profits, but they won't tell you this. This varies from country to country but is the really bad in the US, where people pay some of the highest rates and get the worst health care.

Oh really? Strange, you would think I would know since both my parents are doctors.

well of course there are exceptions.  but the fact that things like ADHD and disgraphia even EXIST seems to vindicate the fact that at least SOME doctors only care about profit.

if you can't focus, you need to try harder.  seriously.  if you get a job and your boss fires you because you couldn't focus, some bull-crud "disorder" isn't gonna save your @$$ from the unemployment lists.  you gotta learn to deal with it.

my mom's best friend is diagnosed with dyslexia.  she went though elementary school, middle school, high school, and college fine before her mom even TOLD her that she had it.

I support this post. I have ADD yet I can read boring textbooks for 8 hours straight. You have to identify what you are having issues with and keep to a plan to deal with it. There is no miracle solution, you have to put in the effort.

Also the post by Forest is good, try to limit your sugar and caffeine intake because that also destroys your focus.

yes, but making a diagnosis for a natural human behavior is just stupid.  the real problem isn't a disorder - its kids not getting enough excersize (due to video games) and having too much pent up energy.  to call this a "disorder" is utterly stupid.

So it isn't natarul. Your logic does not make sense. Speaking as a resident of the UK I can tell you the NHS really helps us.

Dude, shut up. You don't know what you're talking about.

South Park is much more of a clever show than people give it credit for.
