TheSkoo Hmm.... I'm not on any drugs right now... I do believe that I have ADD though... I'll sit in class (this happens at least twice a day) and I'll just be sitting there listening to the teacher... and then I'll come back into the lesson like 20 minutes later, realizing that I was staring at the wall or my notebood, or playing with my pencil just thinking about everything but the subject that I'm SUPPOSED to be listening to... I also think I'm dyslexic.... One time i spelled "sandwich" backwards... without realizing I did it... I spell a lot of stuff backwards... but that was the longest word I spelled backwards. ...."hciwdnas" domokun lol.. i sometimes type or write fast backwards, btu i'm sure as hell not dyslexic.. i'm alittle overweight for my sze, but i'm still growing.. i'm due five or six mor inches blaugh

Amechan I have ADHD. I take Stratera. And for those of you who don't know, Stratera can have a side effect of weight loss. I eat like a pig and all my friends think I'm anorexic. The medicine made me drop from 120 Lbs to 105 Lbs in about half a year. Yet, I eat junk food every bloody day. It's so hard to gain weight! (ha, listen to me complain about being too thin) lucky you..i need to have a better diet.... but i excersice, so i'm not fat.. yet... ^_^;

darkmagicchik maggie_mae depression and add and all sorts of stuff are genetic. most adults won't admit that they have chemical imbalances. they're quick to shove labels on kids because it's only recently that all of these things have been "discovered" as physiological problems, not just kids being kids (ie, jackasses). but because it's a diagnosed thing, they're also quick to throw the demeaning "mental illness" label on as well.
i'm just sick of american culture being so quick to medicate everything immediately. yes, medication can help a lot, but nothing can get solved until you find the psychological root of the problem, why you let yourself behave in "socially unacceptable" ways.
personally, i also think that there are many major flaws in the american school system that contribute to the "problem" of add/adhd. just for kicks, i'll list them. xd
*too many students per classroom
*such a desperate need for teachers that people who should NOT be teaching are
*ridiculous government standards/standardized tests, only schools that reach a randomly chosen percent passage get money
*teachers end up teaching to the test, disregarding the need for students to actually UNDERSTAND material
*the idea that school produces mindless little drones for the workforce -- think about it. at school, you spend your time sitting in a desk, needing to go from one place to another, teachers are your direct managers, the vice principal is middle management, the principal is the building manager, head of the school district is the regional manager, etc
*schools are being treated as businesses, not places for knowledge and understanding
*because teachers are being pushed to teach towards standardized testing, they want their students to be compliant little drones. kids who don't sit down and shut up aren't the compliant little drones, so they "need" to be medicated for add/adhd.
um. yeah. i'm optimistic about the future of this country. xp
oh, and darkmagicchik, there's nothing wrong with suffering from clinical depression. it's not anything that you can really fix by yourself. you don't even necessarily need to start on any meds. just visit your doctor (or get a recommendation from your doctor for someone more experienced with mental illnesses) to talk. if you need any meds, the doctor can start you with a prescription that he thinks will work for you, based on your individual symptoms. trust me, it's much easier to handle yourself and life when you're thinking clearly. the depression is something that can take over YOU if you let it. it's something that quite possibly will be with you for the rest of your life. it's not something that can be cured, but something that you learn to manage, almost like alcoholism or diabetes.
anyways, i'm at work and have actual work to do. smile but if anybody feels the need to ask me any questions, i'll gladly chat via pm or aim or something. i don't want meds! gonk i only speak my mind in here, so that's probably good because i come here.. psycologists are pointless- friends are nicer, especially if they can't tell on you because they don't know where you live.. wait, you do know where i live.. @_@ i never went through to read this stuff again, so... america sucks, doesn't it? since i'm in TAG (yeah, tag- you're it.. no "Talented and Girfted" crap) my teachers actually let us discuss the stuff we learn, so that helps... they also let us get away with says some stuff that might get other kids into trouble We call it G/T (gifted and Talented) Im in it too

It would be a great career choice if you feel like giving runny nosed little kids grape flvored cold medicine ^-^ that's how my dad puts it, but I think it's much more than that. 'Cause seriously, not every doctor is a pediatrician

I have ADD, thats a definite, they still wonder if I ever had ADHD, but I think I was just being a kid. Im a goofy b*****d and im just not me when im on my meds, so I just take out what im supposed to take for the day and toss it. I feel bad cuz my mom pays for it and all, but I told her I wasnt going to take it anyway, and she wont stop no matter what I try so I just act like I gave in. I really feel bad about lying about it though.
