How do you think that people are diagnosed? Do you think diagnoses just drop out of the sky? Well, the answer every day in every way is NOOO!!! Stay out of those feelings and doings and wantings they are not only false opinions but also dismeaningful and distasteful prejudices.
People have to go to hospitals and take harmful tests to check if they have it and it comes up that they do not have any. So, the next time you want to make fun of a kid because he cannot sit still or pay attention in class think of how you’d feel if you could not change it. If you think it is funny, then try filling our shoes and living our life for at least a day and see how it is I bet you can’t, I bet you won’t, I bet you front every time you time you look at me. It is not true that we do this just for attention. Why would anybody slump in a class for attention and then get in trouble in school and at home every time you do even going back home just to get coxed by your own father after you just got in trouble in his class earlier that day.
Do you think that ADHD is getting better on people in United States? No, it is actually getting worse on people in United States. People do not understand the harmful effects of disorders so they like to make jokes about them.
How do you believe I was actually diagnosed with ADHD? Some day in October of 2004, I was latched into the car, waiting patiently to see if there is a reason behind my disorderly conduct in class. I said to myself, "I hope this isn't just because I'm weird or different, but because there is something making me weird." We arrived at the waiting room, when the nurse called me up, I unhesitatingly barged through the door, hoping and praying the tests would come back in my favor. I sat down on the patient table awaiting the arrival of the doctor.
The nurse, though, was a very nice lady. She had a sound of voice that would sooth the wind. She, also, had the hair that, in every stroke or strand, would be as beautiful as a leaf on an evergreen tree.
Then, unexpectedly the doctor came in while the nurse was still doing my check up. I looked over at him as he looked at me and said, "Let's get things going." He did an oral test to tell if my verbal skills showed any symptoms of ADHD. Next, he did a visual test to see if any of my actions favored any symptoms of ADHD. Finally, he let us go. The next day, we got a note in the mail that all my symptoms are positive for ADHD.
What do you think are the real symptoms of ADHD? I have many symptoms of ADHD. I say the wrong thing in the wrong place and time. I'm hyperly focused on too much at one time. I lose attention when it's needed most. I can't sit still. I lack communicating emotions. I'm overly excited over small things. I lose things easily. I follow directions incompletely.
There are many different symptoms for ADHD then many people stereotype us as. We might have loss of attention and hyperactivity but we have more symptoms then that. Some people say that we do it just to have fun or have nothing better to do. I have some news for you we don't. We try our best not to show it or to control it but we can't.
Diagnoses keep growing each year. According to the Center for Disease Control, “ADHD diagnoses have increased, on average, 5.5% per year between 2003 and 2007, almost double from earlier years. There are many factors that go into finding the average of diagnoses each year. People have to visualize the average of diagnoses and figure out the change each year.
There are many causes to the increase in diagnoses. According to the Center for Disease Control, “ the large amounts of children on medication make implications of this debate powerful because the long-term effects of ADHD medicine are unknown.” According to Michigan State University, “Medicaid pays nearly 90 million dollars for ADHD medicine each year.” Aliza Jensen states that specialists speculate that it is the misdiagnoses of ADHD each year causing the mass increase of diagnoses. Many people believe that the long-term effects of ADHD are the biggest reason for ADHD diagnose increase.
You are maybe asking yourself where I got most of my statistics and research. Well, I have a works cited page. Now, on to other questions you might have. You may be asking yourself why did I choose ADHD. Well, like I said before in the 6th paragraph I have ADHD. You may be asking yourself is my life hard. Well, of course it is life is not easy; there are many obstacles you have to overcome.
ADHD is getting worse and worse on people in United States each year. The diagnoses of ADHD keep growing each year. The effects of ADHD medicine are unknown. Misdiagnoses diagnose the wrong people with ADHD and do not diagnose the correct ones.
