A.d.d., A.d.h.d and the Controversy: An AC Experiment

In my reasearch I have found that A.d.d and A.d.h.d while both are similar. A.d.d is know as Attention Deficit Disorder and A.d.h.d known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I believe both to be a scandalous diagnosis,causing alot of controversy between many.

There are actually only 3-8% of people supposedly tested for A.d.d and A.d.h.d that this has concurred to. Scientifically there are no tests that can be ran to actually pinpoint these conditions to assure that it is present, only physical evidence has been used and is not totally reliable itself. The main focus of these studies are of course on young boys more so than young girls,so the old saying " Boys will be boys" no longer exist,nowadays when children act out must have something wrong with them.

To say that a child is easily distracted,hyperactive,impulsive,forgetful,disorganized,depressed or has low self esteem we should medically treat them for one or another of these said disorders?That's an idea,let's get as many children as we can relying on drugs to get then through everyday life, like there isn't enough to worry about in society,such as peer pressure through adolescent years.

More so now than ever before parents as well as teachers don't care much for the distraction , it's easier to slap a label on these kids and drug them up,right?I believe that since both parents are usually working there just isn't enough time in the day to spend with their children,to talk,to have family time together,even if it's just 30 minutes.It's so much easier to give them a pill that will calm them down and break their spirits.

I have asked friends,family members and acquaintances to give their opinions and view points.

"I and a lot of people in my life have a form of either ADD or ADHD sometimes I wish I didn't.I don't think it should be considered a diagnosis though because there is nothing wrong with you,you just have to work harder to achieve your goals in life and stay focused"
