MODERATORS
I honestly feel modern take on ADHD is just a label for people that don't fit into how society wants it.
Tens of thousands of years, we nurtured those that picked up on the butterfly. Those minds will always be critical to human survival. But it's only recently, incompatibility with the standard that causes need for more effort, "Well, they must be broken".
Nope. They never were. We just got real bad at bringing out the best in everyone. At this rate of classification down the path we're going, it'll be weird to not have ADHD.
No I think ADHD is just one of the many of those "conditions".
This reads like there's more people with ADHD than there were in earlier times (which we don't know).
Testing just got a lot better than it was
Yep, "classification".
The proportion will always be the same whether classified or not.
Actually I think there is way more people with mental issues now. I don't think it's just the testing. It's easy to spot them anyways.
There's nothing to indicate that's true. If anything, the leaps in medical science have increased the likelihood of being born "normal".
It also means we have identified or created many "issues" and continue to increase how well they're diagnosed. Everyone's got multiple things now.
No I still highly disagree. I have my own observations and I even asked people from multiple countries about this.
I'd maybe agree if we'd be talking about depression or anxiety, which you can get during your lifetime, but ADHD (or autism) is just the way your brain is wired and can't be "healed" like some other mental illnesses
I was talking about both healable and persistent "issues".
