ADD

[FireNexus]

I've "had" it since I was a wee lad. Bullshit to me, in my opinion. What fucking little kid out there isn't hyperactive? Parents just want the doctors to tell them this so that they can sedate their kids with Ritalin, which is then sold on the streets. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are people who really have it, it's just been watered down by having been put on every kid that won't sit still in class.

Nobody's getting sedated with Ritalin. It's a CNS stimulant. The reason it and amphetamines are prescribed for ADD and ADHD is that they have a tendency to focus you. Performing tasks and keeping your mind in one place becomes easier. That's why college students use them when writing papers.

It's not some "turn off his brain and make him playdough" drug. Though, IMO, it's VERY overprescribed.

I've been suspected of having it by my parents, despite not being trouble for the teachers. Never even had a detention or yelling from the faculty.

They gave my brother medication for it, but he's just an asshole looking to screw people over. I seriously doubt he actually had a disorder of that sort.
