tweet by Johann Hari: The core of addiction is not wanting to be present in life, because pour life is too painful a place to be. This is why imposing more pain or punishment on a person with an addiction problem actually makes their addiction worse.

    Maybe do some research and learn something instead of perpetuating that everyone needs drugs.

    You’re using the excuses abusers use to justify continuing to abuse it. You’re nothing but a druggie.

    If you are hav¬ing trouble with everyday functioning because of ADHD, then trying drug treatment makes sense. If the impact of ADHD is minor and you’ve figured out coping strategies without a formal diagnosis and treatment plan, your doctor may instead advise treatments that don’t involve medications

    Anyone who thinks they need drugs to function are abusers and I feel sorry for their friends and family that have to suffer by putting up with it.

    We “gwyneth paltrow”s may actually know something here, if you put the drugs down so the rest of us can have the medication.

        Was more than willing to have a discussion until you went off the rails.

        I’m sorry you’ve been lied to by your doctors, but there is other methods, and lying about it to others won’t help them.

        Please stop the spread of misinformation.
