This response was an answer to the question " Do you think ADD is a disease? "

 

Considering that I am classified as ADD, and for me sitting for an hour to

type is a reason to celebrate and play a game of pac-man, I'm not sure if I

have an objective point of view. In my opinion, taking a vaguely associated

group of symptoms and naming them does not a disease make. I defeat my " ADD

symptoms " by will power. I understand that as a responsible person, I have

tasks that need to be done and I will achieve them. I understand that using

the ADD crutch does not make me any less responsible for those tasks. For

that reason, I do not think that ADD is a disease, nor do I think that

popping a pill who's side effects " May cause death " create a situation in

which the benefits outweigh the risks.

I also have a son that would be classified as ADHD. Except that both his and

my " symptoms " are controllable by diet. The closer we get to processed

sugar, the worse we get.

 

Sure I have to try harder to do some things, people have different talents

in this world.

 

Getting off my soapbox,

-Shelby
