[subhumanwasian]

[übermenschgrimreaper]

i think everyone has ADHD now tbh

this is actually something ive noticed a while ago

it seems nowadays everyone and their dog has an adhd diagnosis i think adhd is rlly easy to larp which leads to a buncha ppl getting diagnosed when its not real adhd

esp little children, the kids i tutor are rlly young and they are often mischevious, cant sit still or focus during class and many of the parents blame it on adhd when in reality dont all children inherently have difficulty focusing in class? whilst it is a symptom its not an adhd specific trait

and yeah a lotta ppl since adhd is rlly easy to get diangosed with js abuse the system to get special privileges during tests and meds

yeah part of the reason i say this ADHD is a developmental problem with the dopamine system of the brain so technically it does exist but its largely a result of a lack of discipline or self discipline growing up imo which is why everyone has it now I also think you can mostly train it away

yeah i mean the special privileges are great & meds genuinely have improved my quality of life but it shouldnt be a permanent fix & ppl especially under 25 should be encouraged to work on self discipline rather than exclusively relying on meds

@Sink is this true

 

[Kittystrophic]

Jokes aside like every other neurodivergence there is a huge spectrum, if it doesn’t affect you much it doesn’t mean others are unaffected

but I do think diagnoses are given out way too easily recently

yeah but i also think there are a lotta fake adhd diagnosis nowadays

idk bout the process in ur country but where im from u just tell the doctor u cant concentrate or focus and they will auto assume its adhd

its like nowadays a lack of focus cannot exist by itself in a person it has to be attributed to adhd

it does affect me a lot and whatever adhd really is I definitely have a version thats far right on the spectrum i just think that the social idea of adhd is a character created to excuse people who lack self discipline whether thats their fault or their parents

idk i guess it is really easy to get a diagnosis just as long as you say the right things

I feel like majority of people have a really surface view of what adhd is, it’s a lot more than muh cant focus

i know this obviously and still i think its a lack of self discipline

This is factually incorrect, there is neurological aspects to ADHD that we can quite literally back up with brain scans. In ADHD the dopamine system is less responsive and your brain doesn't possess the ability to regulate Norepinephrine. This is why stimulant medications such as methylphenidate and amphetamines often help people with ADHD. This shows in scans as slightly smaller volume in the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum (the areas which handle inhibition, timing, and motor control) the prefrontal cortex (which could ebay considered the leader / "CEO" of your brain) develops 2 - 3 years later. I get that you enjoy the ability to post your theories on here, i do too, but saying shit like this can be harmful dude, because depending on the severity ADHD can really impact people's lives, including mine and many others.

@Sink is this true

yes bro muh i can't focus = adhd

"I'm not depressed I'm just unmotivated"
"I don't have ADHD I'm just lazy"
"I don't have social anxiety I just need to work up my courage"

Who wakes up and decides to be unmotivated and or unlazy and or a coward?

I mean, past a certain point of intensity of symptoms, it counts as a disorder obviously

 

[dimorph.ic]

i'm diagnosed with and tbh i just think i lack self discipline

idk i dont feel lazy and i have adhd i feel like aslong as i move around and do new shit i can counter it i should definitely be hunting lions n shit tho

I don't deny ADHD is real but like there's so much overlapping things that makes it hard to diagnose such as people being on their phones for 10 hours , and apparently even certain mineral deficiencies can have symptoms like adhd
