This made me defensive..

Shiiiit. I ran out of my ADD drugs last month, and have been so scattered I can't even get it together to make a Dr. appointment. I wish this shit was fake.

There's some article going around my Facebook that's about how French kids don't get ADHD because their parents discipline them. I get all eye-rolly. I'm sure that ADHD is sometimes over-diagnosed, but there's such judginess in the idea that kids just need more spanking and set mealtimes, gosh-darnit, and they'll be fine.

Yeah - this is going around my feed too.  Ridiculous if you ask me - and I responded with that too!

You definitely have every right to be upset.

This is how I feel when people say these things about depression. Yeah, I could "just get over it." Or "think happy thoughts."

No. Taking Lexapro has helped with my depression immensely.

Oh fuck that. My nephew was off the wall, rude, acting crazy, out of control, and not doing well at school. Then in the past 6 months he has been acting MUCH better. Made honor roll, etc. I told my sis today that I thought he was being much better behaved, and she confessed that he had been prescribed Ritalin. Holy hell. Thank God. He obviously needed it, and it has made a world of difference. So good for him.

I get the "it's all in your head" and the "it's not a real disease" BS all the time since I have Fibromyalgia. Most of my family go to the same PCP(I do not go to this guy.. he's nuts) and he believes that Fibromyalgia, along with epstein-barr disease, were created by the liberals to make money.
