This is a gross over exaggeration of ADHD and under exaggeration of the effectiveness of non pharmacological treatments
Asian Americans and East Asians have lower suicide rates than Americans (over 60% lower), and especially American white males, you've fallen for a false trope, which is exactly what I expected when I posed the question.…
I'm using the definition of the threshold necessary for a clinical diagnosis as defined in psychiatry, which is not merely "negative effects" or as I've repeatedly stated "discomfort". It's something that persistently…
So you've clearly just restated what I said which is that it was principally a matter of discomfort, not clinical outcomes or justification, which is the defining characteristic for diagnosis in the DSM.
Tobacco didn't exist for most of the world until the 17th century and you're discounting the fact that life was objectively much worse by virtually every metric. People were constantly bombarded with death, disease,…
Yes I have and it was just as difficult post medication as it was pre. Ironically, while on the SNRI my ADHD was "worse" due to the sheer apathy I felt about literally everything, so I was prescribed to help me "focus"…
Why are you just making stuff up? Exact quote from second article "Furthermore, the SSRIs were accorded a rock-star status as effective antidepressants that they did not deserve. Most troubling from the standpoint of…
They were incomprehensibly difficult for me, so yes. My mind and body literally entered fight or flight at the thought of not doing a compulsion or forcing myself to focus on doing a task I didn't want to do. "Quality"…
Yes they do, as the OP said and I myself experienced, they make previously torturous tasks doable with a significantly reduced levels of discomfort and a priori mental resistance.
East Asians are "impaired" the least, and the presumption among Western scientists, particularly American scientists regarding Asian Americans, is that they are simply undiagnosed despite their out performance in nearly…
What the DSM defines as normal is far too narrow and we're too eager for quick fixes without discomfort or discipline.

The point is it's obviously a problem of perspective. Things are not important because they aren't considered important. If the stakes are higher they are elevated in importance and more demanding of attention. To…

Why do you presume I'm neurotypical and undiagnosed with any psychiatric disorder? I'm formally diagnosed with severe OCD, depression, and ADHD. I was on SSRI, then SNRI and additionally methylphenidate for years.…
Nearly all of it, because that's the case for the overwhelming majority of the social sciences. When you do not have an objective metric to measure, prove, or hypothesize (as in physics, chemistry, etc), you're…
There isn't one because a sprained ankle is a binary diagnosis. One of the biggest problems with psychiatry is that every diagnosis is a spectrum, and over time it's become more and more obvious that the boundaries for…

The "Dark Ages" are a complete myth and Europeans were far more technologically, culturally, and economically advanced and prolific than Native Americans in the Early Middle Ages, in spite of deurbanization and the…
You can write a simulation that does this (as MIT and several others have) and Monte Carlo it. You will find that the logic is 100% correct. The prize MUST be either the door you picked initially or the one you can…
Perhaps it'll be more intuitive to you if you scale the number of doors up. If there are 100 doors, only one containing a car, you pick one, the host reveals 98/99 remaining doors as goats, it's obvious the correct…
