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.
Straight up no, I need fucking dopamine so my brain can function. Sure home issues can EXACERBATE ones struggles but they are not a root cause. ADHD is a spectrum, and sure some may not have it to the same extent where adjusting one’s home life can reduce their struggles to the point where it no longer impacts their day to day, but that does not mean it’s a one stop solution for ADHD. In many cases, getting to a baseline where you can function REQUIRES medication. The fact you do not understand this shows your complete lack of understanding when it comes to ADHD, for your kids sake I really hope you decide to learn more about it or your gonna fuck that kid up by not allowing them to be properly prepared for their future. Ffs talk about complete ignorance thinking ADHD is solvable with a loving home.
Yeah that’s issue, your loving family isn’t giving you your dopamine replacement so you require meds.
You can absolutely fix someone’s home life so they don’t need to be medicated, but not everyone’s parents or family want to help them with that.
You don’t ever need dopamine, there replacements and other stuff to get that high.
Your ignorance is why there’s the stigmata that people need help are drug addicts.
I’ve shown I understand the nuances of ADHD quite well, I am sorry that you’re hearing stuff that you don’t want to hear, you’re also showing symptoms with your stubbornness and lack of wanting to understand.
And yes adhd can be resolved with a loving home, im sorry you’ve been lied to by your family or doctor since they didn’t want to help. Maybe find a doctor who’s been using evidence and methods that aren’t outdated and proven ineffective.
Ok Gwyneth Paltrow.
What does that got to do with your doctors refusing to listen to newer techniques that have long disproven the older methods outdated?
If you think someone needs to be medicated to function, I feel sorry for wherever you live, since that attitude just leads to opioid issues. Proven over and over.
Maybe listen to the newfound information, you may learn something that would actually help you.
Your a fucking idiot and your gonna fuck up your kids development with this attitude, fuck I feel bad for them 😔
Says the one with grammar mistakes lmfao.
It’s funny that people say that someone has an attitude when they are only explaining that there has been newer information that doctors have been using.
I feel sorry for your doctors are following proven outdated methods that lead to opioid issues. Most of the people responding to me are proving that stigma. They are all “I need my drugs to function” and “it’s caused by my bad home”.
Both of those statements are factual incorrect and are used by abusers to justify their “need”.
But yea I’m fucking my kid up by not wanting to drug him for life lmfao. That’s an interesting perspective and I feel sorry for your friends and family that have to suffer putting up with a medicine abuser.
Is Harvard a good enough source for you…?
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

There’s hundreds more sources that all say the same thing from this newer information……
But hey, let’s listen to the druggie lmfao. It even mentions what I described about it disturbing already established coping mechanisms…. Would you fucking look at that…….

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.

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.
Fuck you, asshole.
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.
