Re: Fandom and Anxiety

[nyxelestia]

I've seen kids who genuinely who would genuinely suffer and be unable to even get through a day of school without medication because of their ADHD. I've also seen kids who were just bored out of their minds and restless because school is boring and it's hard to get good exercise in the city, and getting drugged so their parents and teachers wouldn't have to deal with them and not getting any real benefit from the regimen.

I get that there is a reason for having official diagnoses for these things, and major advantages to them. And they're good reasons and very valid points! My biggest problem is that a lot of times, they get used as excuses, anyway, and cheap cop-outs to avoid dealing with the real problem.

I'm not a medical practitioner of any sort, a teacher, or even a parent. But at least in the case of ADD/ADHD, wouldn't many of the typical medications make a wrongly diagnosed person more hyper, rather than less, because many drugs that work as stimulants on the general population do the opposite in people with ADD? So if someone was wrongly diagnosed with that and the meds made them more distracted, wouldn't it be obvious that they had something else/the meds weren't working properly?

Seeing as I am not a medical practitioner, either, take my words with a grain of salt, BUT:

a.) I'm not sure how much of that is a prevailing trend among ADHD cases and how much of it may be/actually is an inherent part of ADHD,

b.) there are a variety of drugs out there, so that could also further confound things, and

c.) people react strangely to certain chemicals and drugs without disorders, too - caffeine puts me to sleep as often as it wakes me up, but I'm pretty sure I don't have ADHD, and alcohol can have strange effects on people regardless of what they do or don't have, but it's technically a depressant.

Oh man, I thought I was the only one who had that problem with caffeine! I hate it because I can never predict what it's going to do to me, but on the plus side, I also don't suffer from any sort of caffeine withdrawal if I just spontaneously decide to stop drinking it for a while.
