Unfortunately I cannot, because the diagnosis of ADHD falls under the pseudoscience of psychology. Can you provide medical evidence that it does?
"Individuals with ADHD have a decreased function of the brain dopamine system," Volkow said. "ADHD, clearly, is associated with a biochemical dysfunction," she added. The finding is important, because it belies the myth that ADHD is not a real disease but was just created "to sell medication," Volkow said. Instead, "this finding explains why stimulant medications, such as Ritalin, are beneficial, because they increase dopamine function in the brain," she said.
It's not necessarily a rule, but it's forum etiquette. Unless it's been a fair amount of time before your last post, and you're bumping or something.
That makes absolutely no sense. Intellectualism, also called rationalism, is the practice of exercising the intellect while excluding emotions. Anti-intellectualism, therefore, should be defined as being emotional without thought. And either way, I'm not alone in not trusting the validity of psychology. The entire field is theory and conjecture, and based on the flawed premise that all human minds work similarly.
I am not seeing anything concrete underpinning what you are saying. An entire science is being baselessly written off as pseudo-science, and others have posted basic evidence showing that ADHD is in fact real. Derision of science is a basic attribute of anti-intellectualism (hostility and/or mistrust of science, education, resorting to crass subjectivism, etc.).
I am, in fact, the opposite of an anti-intellectual. Facts are truth, and nothing is more important than truth. I don't consider psychology to be a true science because the entire field is based on the erroneous assumption that human behavior is predictable.
just because human minds aren't all the same doesn't mean they are all different. Things like ADHD and depression can afflict many people.
OK, I called the pharmacy, and they said they're manually ordering Daytrana patches. They said they'll probably get more in 4 days .
