My son may have ADHD

[Delia]

you have been reduced to a babbling cretin who can not address a single fact

Provide a fact, and we'll be right with you.

Ritalin, or methylphenidate, is often used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD). Some of the many long-term
effects of Ritalin use are reduced cerebral blood flow, increased energy consumption in
many areas of the brain, permanent loss of brain tissue, life-long increased sensitivity to
cocaine, and life-long increased rates of depression and anxiety.

Wow, a drug with side effects.

No shit, Sherlock.

THOSE poor deluded and obviously uninformed, ignorant and misled (or deliberately deceiving) sons of bitches dispute what id-eots pretends he "knows." They claim,

Genes. Inherited from our parents, genes are the “blueprints” for who we are. Results from several international studies of twins show that ADHD often runs in families. Researchers are looking at several genes that may make people more likely to develop the disorder.2,3 Knowing the genes involved may one day help researchers prevent the disorder before symptoms develop. Learning about specific genes could also lead to better treatments.

And they cite: 2 Faraone SV, Perlis RH, Doyle AE, Smoller JW, Goralnick JJ, Holmgren MA, Sklar P. Molecular genetics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Biological Psychiatry, 2005; 57:1313-1323.
3 Khan SA, Faraone SV. The genetics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity

But id-eots knows better.

can you even read ??..this is from 2005 they still have no diagnostic test and zero proof that ADHD is genetic or even exists as an illness...

Okay - and you can't provide the cons without addressing the pros.

Ritalin fine-tunes the functioning of neurons in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) - a brain region involved in attention, decision-making and impulse control - while having few effects outside it.​

How Ritalin Works In Brain To Boost Cognition, Focus Attention

Mounting behavioral and neurochemical evidence suggests that clinically relevant doses of Ritalin primarily target the PFC, without affecting brain centers linked to over-arousal and addiction. In other words, Ritalin at low doses doesn't appear to act like a stimulant at all.

"It's the higher doses of these drugs that are normally associated with their effects as stimulants, those that increase locomotor activity, impair cognition and target neurotransmitters all over the brain," says Berridge. "These lower doses are diametrically opposed to that. Instead, they help the PFC better do what it's supposed to do."

the side effect being if you do a cat scan of a child with so called ADHD symptoms all you see is a normal brain...scan a child treated for a few years on ritlian and you see brain damage...thats some side effect

Evidently you can't read. But if you COULD, you'd realize I have never claimed that there has been discovered (yet) any proof that it "is" genetic. It is one of the scientific theories about the malady that is still getting examined scientifically, you id-eot.

There is obviously a great deal of medical and scientific reason to believe that the condition is real. You are not obliged to accept that it is. But you also lack ANY ability in logic. science, reason or fact to claim that it isn't real. The MOST you could say (if you bothered to be honest) is that it is as yet un-proved.

First, idiot, I'm not going to do a CAT scan of anyone....that's what the physician is for....see, that's why they call it a PERSCRIPTION: It is not supposed to be given unless a trained physician perscribes it, and GUESS WHAT?

You cannot get a TWO YEAR PERSCRIPTION!

So you have to change the subject to make your point? Guess your point was too weak to stand scrutiny then.

great so you agree there is zero proof that ADHD exists as an illness but solid proof the drugs can cause measurable brain tissue loss

No. You are wrong, ignorant or maybe just dishonest. There is a LOT of evidence that ADHD absolutely exists as an illness. But I do agree that it is not yet scientifically verified proof.

And there has never been any doubt that prescribed drugs can have side-effects, you id-eot.

I did not change any point..you posted something suggesting drugs may enhance performances..and I am pointing out this is no proof of illness and no proof its beneficial over all

I have this sudden urge to leave EOTS alone in a roomful of untreated ADHD eight year-olds.

Not "MAY" *I assume you attempted to type 'may'*. DID.

Try reading the article. I know, I know; there are lots of big words, and no pictures. But humor me.

What proof is there that ADHD exists as an illness ?

I have home schooled two children that where labeled ADHD who are now succesful happy dynamic drug free young adults and I am now on my third
