outside the nurse's office in elementary school there was a 6-foot tall paper mache super mario one of the art classes had built. whenever i'd go to take my meds (ritalin for supposed adhd) i'd instead palm them then stick 'em up his nose. (the pills made me miserable and sick to my stomach, don't give your kids that shit.) i did this for years, and all the while they just kept upping my dose because it "wasn't working". so somewhere in texas there's a 6-foot mario filled with speed like some kind of crackhead piñata

"We found that the German-language version of Der Spiegel ran an article in 2012 that skeptically examined the large increase in diagnoses of mental disorders in recent years and quoted Dr. Eisenberg on that subject. A software-based translation of that article from German to English does describe Dr. Eisenberg as the "father of ADHD" and report that during his "last interview" he said something similar to "ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease." However, allowing for the vagaries of translation and reading the statement in context, some native German speakers have reported that Dr. Eisenberg wasn't asserting that ADHD isn't a real disorder, but rather that it is overdiagnosed:"

Wife has it. and i believe she thinks is it real, which makes it real to me. (in the sense that i gotta deal with it) .. to the same extent that she has to deal with 'i just need a few drinks' to kill the edge off after a couple arguments between us.

Why would add be any less real than depression or anxiety or any other disorder of the mind?
I believe we do all gave it to some extent but it's when an individual has a severe case of it that it becomes debilitating and need treatment either pharmaceutical or therapeutic just to be able to function normally.
- It's not, and it enjoys the same stigma as those other disorders.jtb26
