Question: Why is everybody & their mamas diagnosing children with ADD!?
Yes, some child actually do have it but it is being overly diagnosed and Ritalin is being over prescribed!. Do anyone notice that!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
its because ADD is finally becoming what it was intended to become!. It is not a disease, it is an evolution of the human brain!. When else in the history of the planet has there been so much information for the human brain to process!. Television has been commonplace in homes since the 1940's, and 24 hour cable since the early 80's!. That's a drop in the bucket in the history of evolution, and yet the human ability to multi-process information has qquadrupledin that time!.

Am I the only one on the planet that see's ADD for what it actually is!? It's evolution!. It's the ability to mulitask!. OF COURSE A SIX YEAR OLD IS GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME DEALING WITH THIS!!! Can a six year old bench press 220lbs!? Can they memorize Shakesphere!?!? Of Course Not!!! The brain, just like any muscle, has to develop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because some parents are looking to blame something other than their lack of good parenting skills to blame for their children's poor behaviour!.
Yes, some children genuinely do have the medical condition, but others just need to be taught discipline and appropriate behaviour! Ritalin should NOT be prescribed to 'cure' children who are simply badly behaved!. A good Doctor should be able to tell the difference - getting the parents to accept it is another matter!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was actually diagnosed with ADHD before it became a trend and I'm really getting sick and tired of these parents and kids promoting laziness, disruptive behavior and ultimately giving a bad name to people who ACTUALLY have it!
I'm 20, in college and was diagnosed at age 4!. My Parents, luckily for me, NEVER allowed me to use my ADHD as an excuse for ANYTHING!. Nowadays, all I hear about is how people with ADHD "can't do this" or "can't do that" or "shouldn't do this"!. It really ticks me off!.

I've noticed, and I wish parents wouldn't just roll over on this!. There is much evidence that some foods create problems associated with ADD!. If we start our children so early in life on drugs that alters their personality aren't we asking for trouble!? I just wonder if a lot of the anxiety and other behavioral problems that teens are having comes from taking that drug at a very early age!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

That's true but I also noticed throughout junior high and high school a lot of kids would say they had it when really they were just trying to look cool!. Why!? I don't know!.

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 5 or 6 and took Ritalin for 7 years and it changed my life!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah, they're mostly effing brats if you ask me w/ lazy parents that don't want to deal w/ it beyond drugging their kids!. And the other half think everyone has bipolar disorder I've noticed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
