Oh please. Tell me - what physical tests do they give a person to determine ADHD ?
Blood test ? MRI ? PET scan ? Blood sugar test ? A brain fluid tap to test dopamine or seratonin levels ?
No ? None of those things ?
Hmmm -
How do they determine dosage levels ? By a measurement of “chemical imbalance”, or by OBSERVING BEHAVIOR and adjusting drug accordingly ?
ADHD is determined to “exist” by a BEHAVIORAL observation. It’s a list of BEHAVIORS determined by committee to be undesirable. The drugs used to control ADHD behaviors are a trial and error process that are adjusted over months.
If your doctor wanted to treat your diabetes this way, you’d be in court for malpractice. But, obviously, you and others like you think it’s OK to give powerful and life-altering drugs to kids on the basis of how often a kid taps their foot.
THAT’s BS.
So, your objection is what is BS.
I’m not talking about ADD or ADHD.
I’m talking about Schizophrenia and Bipolar Affective Disorder. If you had READ my original post you would have noticed I also am skeptical about ADD or ADHD.
And by the way smart guy, how do you think pain medication is managed? Duh. Emperically, as there is NO PARAMETER OR TEST FOR PAIN. I guess that means it doesn’t exist huh?
