Is ADHD really just an addiction to consooming the flood of stimuli offered by technology, combined with depression?

When I got diagnosed with it they just asked me some questions about my life without doing any kind of blood tests or brain scans. Is psychiatry even a legit science?

I guess it's a wrong way to interpret stimula and manage dopamine that becomes somehow a 'syndrome'.
There was no such thing as ADHD in the '20s, kids were just 'lively'
So yes, I guess that there's a way to reprogram the brain and cure ADHD, but it's more comfy to keep you in a poisoned environment and sell you drugs forever.

Is a behaviouralist approach the answer?

Quoted By:

ADHD is diagnosed by behavior, there's no such thing as a brain or blood scan because the cause is irrelevant to the diagnosis or treatment. ADHD is literally defined by a pattern of behavior, not some specific physical or chemical brain attribute. If you have trouble focusing and whatever other symptoms, you have ADHD. That's it. Many people with these symptoms take medication and experience a subjective improvement in their life. You can take it too. What else do you want?
You're not BTFOing psychiatry when you say "maybe it's caused by x" or "maybe it's better understood as y." That doesn't undermine the practical definition of the condition or the experimental validity of the treatment whatsoever.

I don't know, but usually it's very useful to understand the history of the patient before coming out with a diagnosis.
>You have sympthom 1, 3, 5, 6, 8 and 10 of the ADHD, then you have ADHD, take those pills
This is what a shitty doctor does.

What caused this ADHD? Do you watch too much television? Do you consume too much sugar/caffeine? Do you play too much vidya? Try to remove the bad habits and get a sane lifestyle, try to 'rehab' somehow yourself.
After that, if the syndrome stays, you get some pills and try again.
Brain can be rewired.

That's basically what every doctor who can give you prescription speed does.

You think people become doctors because they care about people? Like it's the early 1900s or some shit? They do whatever they fuck it takes to make as much money as possible. The same people handing out hormones to children and literally chopping of mens dicks are also giving people amphetamines. It's funny because I love stims but I'm not stupid enough to take them everyday and pretend theres something wrong with my brain. It's laughable and embarrassing.

I was diagnosed with some sort of device strapped to my head that measured my body movements while I was doing a reaction time test. I guess that's still behaviour, but it's measured without human judgment being involved at all.

I can't play video games. I use the internet pretty heavily, but I don't use a phone or phone apps. Basically all I do is read. Maybe you were misdiagnosed, but my working memory is fucked, and that means I can't get beyond stage 1 of anything, ever.

Some infections elsewhere in the nose, but no breathing problems. You'd think I'd have had at least a sniffle what with the whole black death thing that was going on, but my nose has been dry for two years.

That's exactly what you do for the money. You think just because they didn't go into business there not in it for the money or better, the power? Otherwise they would be volunteering at hospital changing bandages on leprosy and burn victims. Instead there driving European sports cars because they "earned" it.

Did I trigger a memory of you being molested by your therapist anon? You literally just called it an art, which is an interesting Freudian slip, acknowledging it isn't a science. Because it isn't.

Same. I wanted to get an addy prescription in college, so I went in. They asked me life questions and they had me do a couple of ADHD tests on a computer where I had to pay attention to shit on the screen (something like watch for numbers/letters to appear and to click when a vowel appears and don't click when a consonant appears, I forget the details). Of course I did not give the test my all, and boom, ADHD diagnosis

The elephant in the room with Freud is that his psychology was created to excuse ***s only marry ***esses. They can't help but not marry the ***im, they just want to fuck someone like their mother. That's much more plausible of an explanation for why they remain separate from the rest of their host societies. Or at least, it's more sensational, and people will talk about that instead of secret endogamy.

business would make them much more money, and therefore more power with less time spent in school and less hours worked per week, plus the average age that doctors retire is 65, much later than they actually need
>volunteering at hospitals
I said "entirely for the money" obviously they need money to survive
