Comment: ADHD is an invented Syndrome (Score 1) 603
Right on. I could easily get a ADHD -diagnose if I wanted to, it's just made up words to keep those bright young minds under medication and ultimately, under control. Addicted, hooked to the medical system.
ADHD is an inventend syndrome. Something to sell more Big Pharma Drugs to our kids, or more precisely, adults who think that their children need this. If kids were really told about what these so-called ADHD -drugs do to their system, they would use their Common Sense (kids still have it) and determine that this is toxic to their system.
This is why it's called ADHD. So we'll get confused what is happening. Oh, it's ADHD! Yeah, my kid has that too. Oh, your kid is not listening to the lies they are being showed down their throats in school? Give them some Adderal!
And at the same time we are forgetting wtf we are doing, giving kids highly addictive and behaviour changing drugs. Imagine if you had been growing up while taking amphetamine every day ? What kind human would you grow up to be? What kind of psychological reactions are forming in these kids bodies and minds as they are growing up while being under the influence of this stuff?
Putting amphetamines on these young kids bodies will get them concentrated, sure. It's goddamn amphetamine. Amphetamine is used to keep soldiers awake and functioning as machines of war. Hitler used to get shots of amphetamine in his eye given by his medical staff everyday. Amphetamine is what fueled the Finnish Army during the cold war. It's goddamn amphetamine! Nothing to play around with, really.
This performance driven, money-overcomes-everything society wants to produce happy little worker drones, who are ready and willing to work those 60-80 hour weeks, no questions asked. Adderal and other psyche altering drugs are the tools for keeping us concentrated, sedated, happy little numb people that we are. Feeling depressed? Here, take this! Bing, no emotions, you are a Robot, ready to go to work 5 days a week.
Is anyone asking what side-effects this stuff has ? Blocking of emotions ? Rail-driven thinking ? Not seeing the big picture, focusing on little things ?
Kids shouldn't need any psyche-altering medications to begin with. What they need is just some love and care.
