adhd is a meme disorder, a spook, falsehood

maybe not hyperactivity but ADD yes

>>24068935
It's been proven that people with ADHD have a smaller frontal lobe.

And what does ADHD do? Can't focus? On what? Shit that you don't find interesting?

>>24069097
That's part of it. It's also difficult to stay structured in general. I also trip up on my words sometimes because my mind is going a mile a minute. It's the result of lower than normal dopamine levels in the brain. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it isn't real.

hmm

provide me some documentation

>>24069163

those are all signs of a great mind, not someone with a disorder

see anything retarded there?

I dont think you can grow a brain

>>24069477
I mean you grow a brain when you grow you're growing everything else.

>>24069868

Yeah I get you grow everything when you grow but to actually grow your brain im not sure I've never heard of that

>>24069923
I didn't actually look through all the slides. Is it that thing that says you can add more gray matter to your brain or something?

>>24069976

well

>(About half of kids with ADHD still have it in adulthood.)

Then you have your link saying "Using anatomic magnetic resonance imaging, the study showed that the volume of the frontal lobes in boys with ADHD was an average 11 percent smaller than that in a control group of boys."

So is ADHD solely a deficit in the frontal lobe, and if so it says in my link that most adults lose their ADHD when they reach adulthood

That would imply their frontal lobe grew to be normal somehow

>>24070064
From my understanding it seems that some people with ADHD catch up with their peers in adulthood and some don't.

>>24070260

Yep, I can't tell if it's really ADHD or if some people are just meant to remain retarded

I've been diagnostized with ADHD when I was like 13 and I don't feel my brain changed that much, I'm sure it got worse with the meds I took if anything, I've never had any of those drug dependency and impulsiveness and whatever, today I have much more discipline than pretty much everyone I know, it was all because I couldn't focus in boring school learning about the joy of multiculturalism

Well yeah I guess this is pretty anecdotal but I rest my case, there were plenty of people in my school who were on adhd meds for ... not much, the reasons they are diagnostized with adhd is always retarded

I've only ever known 1 kid who was legit hyperactive and pretty autistic
