    Descending opinions? You mean dissenting opinions?

    The idea it has to do with dopamine has never been proven, rather theorized. It's a hypothesis.

    As far as it being inherited, well, yeah, traits usually are inherited. If a parent was hyperactive and had a hard time paying attention, there's a good chance the child will as well. It doesn't prove that ADD is a physical or chemical abnormality, though. It simply means that traits are passed on.

    Verily. I drink a lot rat, give a brother a break.

    A very detalied and well researched hypothesis, largely agreed on by the medical community, and validated by MRI's, and other methods of neural imaging .

    I can read book really fast and understand it.
    If I read it slowly I cant remember it , so I cant understand it and I get as bored as fuck.
    I learned french for 6 years from morons - I cant recall fuck all.Infact I learned more spanish in an hour by myself!

    I watched this accelerated learning stuff.
    The standard way is to spend 2 hrs bored out of your mind.
    This lot spent 15 or 20 mins learning really concentrated with acceletaed learning skillls, then went off to play basketball , then came back and tested themselves and revised it twice .
    End result?They learned it in 1/6th of the "traditional time".And noone was bored

    Schooling was never about learning it was about discipline and control.Id like to get all the schoolteachers and burn em at a stake:)
    So if you cant do it the "control and boredom " way - theyll pretend youre ill , load u with drugs etc etc.

    I suppose Einstein and da Vinci were ill according to that lot - as they daydreamed about helicopters and nuclear fission.

    Sure meds have their place but we should look at the whole situation , not the agenda of a bizarre archaic education system.

    I was percribed all kinds of pills for sence I was in 6th grade. I stopped after rehab last year.
    In HS I used and sold them. Then I started using them just to get high. Iv done so much so many times I just got tired of the comedown.

    As for not taking them I didn't like the way they affected who I am as a person or a kid on adderall everyday. I decided I like me more.
