Even if I was officially diagnosed when i was younger, it was a time before medicating was a trend. |

|  | that video LIES | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Northern California | | I seem to be inheriting my son's ADD- at least many of the behaviors. He has not been officially diagnosed, but on a bad day he's poster boy material. I was hyperactive- they tried Ritalin but it made me a zombie so my folks just dealt w/it(mom pulled her hair out & dad drank). BTW, I think putting this in bass humor negates any right to complain when peeps post 'humorously'. I for one don't mind being made fun of. Beats being ignored.

Personally I think people are being over diagnosed.
Little drugged out zombies are easier to control in the class room.
I do have ADD and dyslexia which does make concentrating difficult at times.
Some times I feel sorry for those people whose minds aren't able to jump from thought to thought like a tv remote.
Actually the dyslexia is the most difficult to deal with, thank god for spell check, and speed dial. When I'm tired It some times take 2 or 3 tries to get a phone number right.
I don't take any meds, I just live with it.

I laughed pretty heartily at your last comment though.. Who is the one making presumtions?! lol Thanks for the humor.
I do think many children are misdiagnosed...and overmedicated. Back in the 70's misbehavior/depression/bipolar among many other symptomatic problems were all called hyperactivity... it was a lack of understanding. Just like all other areas of medicine, mental health diagnosis and treatment has improved. The stigma attached to many "disorders" prevents a lot of people from ever seaking help. |

But when my son (who also has ADD) and I get together we drive every body nuts.
