-protomessiah there is a difference between tolerance and dependence. tolerance is when the medication stops being as effective over time and dependence is when you become dependent/addicted to the drug. there is also overwhelming scientific evidence from around the world that adhd/add is real and common amoungst our population. people like you who think add is a joke/excuse are no different from the people who deny climate change. blatantly ignorant and uneducated.
ok yes i misinterpret tolerance towards addiction, i think that when people go back to pharmacy's or doctor's to give a increased dosage could lead to an addiction. on behalf of the "adhd is a joke" is mostly because of my personal experiences with other students and friends having add or adhd and how they can't comprehend doing school work or keeping still when we were younger, and me being diagnosed with it having a better understanding of focusing in class and not making an ass of myself or being irresponsible.
i would say i could be ignorant but not uneducated, i was put into IEP classes throughout my elementary, middle, and high school and having a lot of experience. seeing some of these kids they weren't the same as me, now of course not all of them just had adhd/add, others had other severe cases of something else. but the kids i knew that also had adhd have done some serious irresponsible things past or during high school and i find that they have failed to understand the importance of listening or to care about school "because i have adhd" and they're put into iep classes and they give less fucks about school.
idk i just hate to see how these kids have no become fuck ups in their life going to summer school each year and then taking on drugs and not caring anymore, same kids i was friends with in elementary that had similar issues as me. again this just my pov on things.
