ADHD is caused by a defective gene involving the DAT1 transporter causing it to be overactive. This causes a deficit of dopamine that predominantly impacts the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (there are other parts impacted too, but this one is the most apparent). The brain compromises with novelty seeking behavior to rebalance the neurochemistry as a depression response, and this outwardly manifests as distractibility.
Don’t talk of things you have no clue about. Saying ADHD is “manufactured” is downright harmful. And yes, stimulants do treat it, and do so very effectively. I encourage you to learn more about it from Dr. Russell Barkley, the leading authority on the subject. He does well to dismantle the myths and stipulations and is very knowledgeable. He even has a youtube channel where he elaborately breaks down the studies in a way the common man can understand.
Nah, at the point where people with accommodations average better than people without on the LSATs I can tell what’s going on. It’s unsurprising that people on a high-grade stimulant do well on tests.
Besides I know better because I did the natural thing. I read the DSM V guidelines for diagnosing ADHD, provided the appropriate information, and got myself a diagnosis for it and a prescription for Adderall.
I’m sure you guys have all the theory-crafting but I did the thing. So if you guys think there’s suddenly a huge burst of people getting this illness in states that reward it, boy do I have a bridge to sell you.
