| I was an ADHD kid myself, and grew up in a time where teacher we're just coming to understand it. I'm really on the line with this subject. On one hand, it really helped me out. On the other hand, it surpressed my abhorrent individualist personality and turned me into a nice shy little school system conformist boy. The catch is I wouldn't have made it through school without meds (public school at least). The principle was my best friend pre-med (everyday). After, I was shinny success story.
Is it made up? No. Is it over diagnosed? Yes. Are meds appropriate for some people. Yes. Ae meds appropriate for all people. No.
Did anyone watch the Dr Phil show? I'm interested in what he had to say. |
