Attention Deficit Disorder

[Reilly]

So who has...

 

...

 

hmmm... milk?

[Lera]

You're on fire, Reilly.

[Reilly]

Only milk can put it out.

[Lera]

Can you please explain what is this thread about?...

[Reilly]

Sure.

 

Attention Deficit Disorder is when a child cant pay attention to something, usually referred to in schools. Its a very well known 'disease' in America that gets treated by pumping the kid full of handfuls of pills, daily.

 

Anyway, the thread was about Attention Deficit Disorder, implied by the title, I then went into my own topic, in my topic post, and lost focus in the middle of my own post, therefore my attention was lost, and I ended up forgetting what I was talking about, and mentioned Milk, because I lost concentration.

 

The irony is, that I implied that I am indeed the one who has Attention Deficit Disorder, implied by my loss of concentration in creating this thread.

are you talking about ADHD? anyway, I think everyone has a little ADD or whatever in their brain. no one is perfect. It scares me that some people treat it like a disease though. It's not a disease it mostly depends on the type of person someone is, what they like, etc. I think better habits and training will do more for children who have ADD than the medicine will overall.

I probably have it but its never been tested. i think i have ADHD.

[Reilly]

Exactly.

 

I saw a documentary on it, in America they treat an average child with ADD by using 4 different types of medicine and over 15 pills PER DAY. In Europe, they treat the child by putting them into particular classes, tutoring or group activity, in the worst cases of it they use one type of medicince which requires 2 pills per day. In the worst cases in America, a child may have to use up to 9 different medicines and around 35 pills PER DAY.

 

At least its helping the economy, which is what its coming down to.

(Sarcasm ^)
