Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Wait until these dim-bulb idiot Obama supporters begin to realize how the democrat party has utterly, totally screwed them.
There is lots of Obamacare money for shrinks.
Everbody gets their fair share!
I was a little twitchy when I was that age, too.
They can't live like their parents used to.
They found out they invested in a fantasy.
Graduating college with a four year degree in social work, strapped to $60,000 in student loans in today’s job market would give me mental health issues too.
“number of students on psychiatric medicines has increased by more than 10 percentage points”
Maybe this is the cause? Drugging children early and often results in worse disorders later?
Chalk this up to all the poor kids pushed onto meds when they just need some free time and physical exercise.
We are going to pay the price for all these new “diseases” we have created and the meds we consume to treat them.
PS I am not an ADHD denier but not every kid diagnosed has it.
NPR would know, it takes a nut to know a nut, it has been said.
That doesn't mean there's more mental illness... just more medication.
"Me fail English,that's Unpossible"
ADHD is like PTSD, an excuse.
Rising marijuana usage is probably a factor. A large portion of the current generation of college-aged kids is convinced that pot is the most harmless drug in the world... hell, it’s even beneficial “medicine.” The pro-pot media pretty much ignores the association between heavy usage of the drug and psychosis. Before all you pot fans attack me, yes, I know that it doesn’t cause psychosis in all users, but it does in SOME.
Mental Evilness.
“Maybe this is the cause? Drugging children early and often results in worse disorders later?”
I’ve definitely heard some pretty credible personal stories to that effect.
Bingo!
At the doctor’s office the other day I saw an ad for medication to treat shift work disorder (SWD). The side effects listed were frightening. Everything’s a disorder these days except sexual perversion.

“NPR would know, it takes a nut to know a nut, it has been said.”
I wonder how many listeners they would have left if they were all treated and cured. Five?
I agree with you, not only the ADD drugs but other psychotropic drugs such as Prozac, Zoloft etc.
