Top Neurologist Blows Whistle: ‘ADHD Does Not Exist, It Was Invented To Hook Kids on Drugs’​

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) does not exist and was invented by Big Pharma in conspiracy with government regulatory agencies to hook young and vulnerable children on lucrative psychiatric drugs, according to leading American behavioral biologist Dr. Richard Saul.
“After 50 years of practising medicine and seeing thousands of patients demonstrating symptoms of ADHD, I have reached the conclusion there is no such thing as ADHD,” explains Dr. Saul.
“This so-called condition has apparently spread like wildfire across the globe in recent years, with a huge increase in its diagnosis and medication,” Dr Saul continued. “More than 4 per cent of adults and 11 per cent of children in the U.S. have been diagnosed with ADHD.”
We all have scatterbrained moments where we struggle to get organized, zone out, or have an angry outburst – all signs of ADHD. Many assume medication’s the answer, which explains the uptick in children being treated.
However, a new report was released by Express Scripts last month that revealed an alarming statistic: Between 2008 and 2012, the number of Americans who use medication to treat ADHD rose 36 percent.

Are the Signs of ADHD Actually Signs of Other Issues?​

“In my view, not a single individual is afflicted by the disorder called ADHD as we define it today,” says Dr. Richard Saul, M.D., behavioral neurologist and author of “ADHD Does Not Exist.”
Signs of ADHD are related to more than 20 medical diagnoses (such as poor eyesight, sleep deprivation, and bipolar disorder) and when they’re treated, the attention-deficit and hyperactivity symptoms disappear.
“We define this ‘illness’ by its symptoms, rather than its cause,” he explains. “Nasal congestion can be a symptom of a cold, allergy, or many other conditions, but a runny nose is not a diagnosis.” His book is causing quite the uproar in the medical community, as well as with people who have ADHD.
Regardless of whether you agree with him or not, the firestorm the book is creating is nothing but good: We’ll now go to our physicians with a greater awareness to make sure we’re being treated for the actual issue, and not the symptoms of the issue.
The one thing I’m sure we can all agree on was put best in the Express Scripts study:

“The trends here signal a need to look more closely at how and why physicians prescribe these medications for adults and the need for prescribers to fully assess the entire psychosocial landscape of an individual patient prior to reaching for the prescription pad.”

There’s never been a time where we’re as distracted as we are now: Our everyday technology makes us feel like we’re missing out if we’re not paying attention to a million things at once, and we ladies are already suckers for multi-tasking. Sigh. Sadly, the increase in ADHD medication usage didn’t surprise me at all.
It’s time we open the dialogue and shift our way of (unfocused) thinking toward the possibility that one day it might be called “the disorder formerly known as ADHD.”

All it did for me was stunt my appetite during my formative years. Can't say I'd recommend it. Better to accomodate ADD/ADHD students in other ways then to hook them on potent drugs with life-long implications.

-Kinetic tools such as bouncy chairs. It sounds weird but the act of having your body in motion does something for ADD/ADHD people in helping them focus which is why so many of them develop some kind of body-shake/jitter movement in their legs or arms
-Extended PE/physical exercise w/ proper diet. These two speak for themselves and it boggles my mind that they arent the go-to response.
-Reduced lecturing/more hands-on learning. The only way you're getting a hyperactive sped to listen to your boring-as-fuck lecture is if the topic is intensely interesting to them. If it can be taught through a hands on approach it should be.

There are actually non-stimulant medications for ADHD but personally they weren’t effective.

Same boat unfortunately

I've never understood why they're prescription-only. You'd think in a culture that values worker productivity it would be less regulated than something like cannabis.

It wasn't prescription only until the end of WW2. You could buy pure, unfucked with meth over the counter in multiple countries. Germany and Japan(the country that discovered meth) were especially fond of the drug. Not sure if Adderall was as easy to get.

Adderal is for the weak.

Desoxyn is for the strong.

I've assumed for the longest time that ADHD is just how some people are wired and that it doesn't suit modern industrial societies, so corpos and governments incentivize people to get medicated so that they can be the soulless husks that the bureaucrats want them to be.

Oh please, SSRIs are far more effective in controlling a population than stimulants.

 

[._.]

Ok but I like adderal because it helps me be productive and focused so fuck off.

I remember reading that ADD is physically characterized by a smaller frontal lobe in the brain, and I kinda believe it Also that it can be judged by rapid eye movements, like something will flash in the corner of your vision and your eye moves to look at it and then right back. But yeah also I just like adderall because it makes shit easier.

It's not malicious exactly. People are just lazy and like nice convenient cozy solutions to complex problems that only involve a daily pill rather than lifestyle changes.

Most kids don't have ADD or ADHD. Its just a way to calm kids down and possibly brainwash them.

I thought those medications calm down people who do have ADHD, but have effects like any other stimulant on normal people. ADDtists are the ones who start behaving better and more calmly when you're all doing lines of dex etc. off the kitchen table in university, right?

I got tested for ADHD and it turns out I didn't have it. I was just an asshole.

Because it helps with pattern recognition.

Something that we define as ADHD exists. The issues are:
How over diagnosed is it? (Very.)
How misdiagnosed is it (very)
How much of it is attention spans shredded by modern life? (Quite a bit)
How much of it is a consequence of a certain ‘build’ of person completely at odds with how modern life expects you to be? (Quite a bit.)
In your tribe you need the bulk to be easy followers. You need a few to be capable of great violence. A few to be lone wolves who can go and and explore. A few to be schizo visionaries (they’re fucked these days too) and a few to be squirrels on crack because that’s useful as well. If you’re a squirrel on crack you need to be out chopping wood and being physical, constantly, dawn to dusk, not stuck behind a pile of spreadsheets. Curious to know if communities like the Amish have a significant issue with ADHD or if ‘get up at four, milk the cows, muck out the horses then get to building that barn’ is a remarkably good alternative to speed. What he’s right about is that we have turned a symptom into a disease to medicate, instead of addressing the symptoms. A lot of stuff is like this. Depression is for sure.
Do we look deeply at WHY someone is unhappy? No we do not. We simply throw SSRIs at them. Depression is a sign something is wrong, it’s not a disease in itself. Like fever.

Pretty much.

If you can't sit still at a desk for 6h a day you need meds

Some schitzo I know of once made a salient point that anti-depressants are just society's way of denying its own illness by pointing the finger at you.
I think that's a great way to express the dynamic

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

I believe this.

Go ask 10 parents who have kids under the age of 5 how those kids are. 10/10 will respond "litte jessy/johnny has ADHD and Autism". Every.Fucking.Time.

I avoid niggercattle like the plague but at work you can't help but interact or over-hear conversations and I just blank-stare at them when they whip out that line. The parents say it looking for sympathy, when all I think is "You're a shit parent. Your kid has adhd and autism because you raised them on a smartphone instead of being a fucking parent".

 

[Mettaur]

Much like the rise and fall of SSRIs and the widespread rejection of the Lipid Hypothesis it's going to take a while for this to go from fringe conspiracy theory to accepted science. There's so much money and entire industries that have formed around prescribing ADHD. It was like the transitioning children of the 2000s.

In every circumstance the doctor immediately wants to push extremely addictive drugs onto the child that require lifelong use and result in extremely nasty side effects that ruin their lives. And we all accept this as normal despite it being unthinkable a few years ago.

Interestingly people with ADHD actually perform better at specific jobs. Mainly jobs that require lots of constant stress situations. Like being a firefighter or a paramedic where there's a near constant go-go-go mentality.
