ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is an emerging mental disorder, according to the official narrative. It lacks much of a clinical basis and is diagnosed from a checklist of behaviours symptomatic of inattention to authority.[1]
Epidemiology
| New research looked at two common types of meds for ADHD -- amphetamine, such as Adderall, and methylphenidate, such as Ritalin -- and found the amphetamine drugs were linked to a slightly greater risk of developing psychosis. Dr. Lauren Moran, a psychiatrist at McLean Hospital, joins CBSN with details. |
The disorder primarily seems to affect children. Major health institutions like the CDC say the cause of ADHD is unknown, but genetic factors are believed to play an important role. [2]
Development of ADHD has been shown to be correlated with fluoridation of drinking water,[3], lead exposure during pregnancy, brain injury [4], influenza vaccination[5] and with consumption of digital media.[6][7].
Treatment
The main treatment of ADHD is pharmaceutical stimulants derived from popular recreational drugs. Initially, Ritalin, a drug based on cocaine, which has unresearched long term consequences (though it has been suggested that they "addle the brain over the long term"[8]), was the treatment of choice. Later it was mostly replaced by highly addictive amphetamine-based drugs such as Adderall and Vyvanse. A 2016 study on rats suggested "that young people using amphetamines may have changes in memory and attention well into their thirties."[9]
Questionable efficacy
A 2013 story by The Atlantic, Study: ADHD Symptoms Persist Despite Medication in 9 Out of 10 Kids, reported on "a new study out of Johns Hopkins suggests that the "benefits" used to rationalize medication might not even exist".[10]
