It’s not. It’s still affecting people and doctors are still insensitive to it, at least in some cases. I know that there are times when I can’t manage to make it through a day with a coherent train of though, and I’ve been self managing ADHD all my life. (There were no “miracle pills” when I was a kid. In fact, no one had ever heard of ADHD, it wasn’t even a term yet.)
So it comes as no great surprise to me that there are adults who struggle harder than I do. I’m lucky. My mother worked for many years to teach me how to get a grip on myself. To redirect my innatentiveness and focus on what needed to be done “now” There will always be time for the laters… At least on most days there will.
I just ran across a post at ADHDForums where someone feels that they could use more help. They aren’t really getiing it on local subsidized medication. This, again, is no surprise. Unfortunately I’m not from the area they live in.
If you happen to pop in here and are from Michigan, please check out this post and see if you can offer a little insight. I’m sure the poster would apprecieate any guidance he or she can get.

I trust the following helps:
It is a great shame that so many children are diagnosed with the made-up psychiatric term “ADHD” and then prescribed mind-altering drugs (like Ritalin) that have potential horrendous side effects, which do occur (many cases have been recorded) see http://www.adhdtruth.com for the facts.
It is, in my opinion, a covered up evil that, as well as causing untold harm to our children, creates untold upset with parents. There are many Dr’s. and like professionals, other individuals, and various groups that deplore the action of prescribing mind-altering drugs (like Ritalin) to children. Fortunately, there are alternative, sane, workable solutions in helping our children with attention, behavior and learning problems (without mind-altering drugs). Please visit ‘Sources of Help’ page: http://www.adhdtruth.com/testimonials.html - which gives the view of many professionals and also various sources of help in various countries (that do not use mind-altering drugs in their treatment). Also included are many books on the subject.
Before any parent allows prescribing of psychiatric mind-altering drugs to their child, I earnestly request they carry out all necessary research to arrive at a sound judgement.
If you have, or know of a child, already taking one of these mind-altering drugs, I respectfully ask that you contact a very good source that offers alternative, very workable and safe treatment solutions.
My best to all,
Ray
