Thank you, all of …
Thank you, all of your videos have been very helpful. Your video on social interactions was the most helpful.

In searching for the right words, I’ll just say: Thank You. How can I email or contact you?

well, your previous …
well, your previous comments would suggest otherwise and they are there for everyone to see. I merely am here to defend others from your ignorant comments which I am sure from your point of view are intelligent and thought provoking and yet they are not so.
definition of condescend:
showing or implying a usually patronizing descent from dignity or superiority:
oh dear, look at your comment below. me thinks you need to check your dictionary again.

I am not against …
I am not against psychiatry, per se, I am against the abridgement of civil rights, and so much else in the profession’s practice, fronting as “treatment”. Given the tone of your response, perhaps you are the one fighting for the primacy of your position, not I.

No, that would be …
No, that would be patronizing, which, if I were guilty of such, would be just as egregious. You needn’t agree with my views-as well as many others’, too.

You have criticized …
You have criticized the use of ‘we’ as condescending and yet you say in your comment to me that ‘people’ as you have discovered hold on to their psyche labels like a religion. I find that condescending also.
It would appear to me that you are no different. Would have been better to say that ’some people,’ as I have discovered.”
But, alas, you put a label on ‘everyone’ so it would appear to me that you are not here to help anyone as much as you are here to force your opinion on ‘people.’

Shrinks and …
Shrinks and certainly counselors are not doctors! They are first and foremost society’s gate keepers. Mull over the latter a while. I suggest reading Thomas Szasz, for starters.

No, I am no Scion! …
No, I am no Scion! People, as I have discovered, hold on tenaciously to their psyche labels as they would religious identification and, when conceptions are questioned outright, it can cause considerable consternation.

are you a …
are you a scientologist or something because you seem to be opposed to psychiatry? Not to mention that you like to make people feel small about themselves using oh so eloquent literary undertones which probably make you feel superior that you have a large vocabulary, yet, and I dont feel that I am being subjective in anyway, however, you come across as extremely annoying. Next time we are invaded by the alphabet aliens we will be sure to contact you to defend us. But until then, off!

The problem? What …
The problem? What is the problem? Its all self-referential, this problem thing: always getting back to the credibility of psyches, and the general absence of any dissention of the way that shrinks profess to being doctors, whilst ignoring the nuances that arise when brain meets mind.

For my own …
For my own experience. As I said in my first two comments I think more people are resorting to drugs than necessary. As such, It is why I also suggested people focus more on how to treat the diagnosed individual rather than focus on whether something exists or not. Clearly people don’t seek out advice from doctors unless they feel something is wrong and therefore something needs to be addressed. For that reason, putting more focus on how to treat the problem is better than denying a problem…

Taylor’s use of the …
Taylor’s use of the first person plural “We” is rather interesting as it is condescending. Is Taylor speaking as a fellow traveler, or as the clergy of her church of mental hygiene?

The positives …
The positives outweight the negatives. First, is this a generalizable rule, or your own experience, and those of friends and family? Secondly, positive effects can be had by anyone on Ritalin, not just for those it is prescribed to for a supposed disease. You need to think through your responses before ejaculating!

Even if you don’t …
Even if you don’t consider it a disease, the positive effects of the drug outweigh the negatives.

You are doing your …
You are doing your body a lot of bad using amphetamine-based drugs. Have you tried exercise, yoga, meditation…even cannabis-at night, for sleep, of course? ADD is not a disease, but a feeling one has of oneself, or another, that is irksome. Just one or two “symptoms” are enough for parents and other adults to get children on the drug merry-go-round…and I am not talking any fun, here!

I think more …
I think more attention should be focused on non-drug treatment as the first approach. As somebody that actually does use meds I’m quite aware of the side effects of taking amphetamine based medication. As such, I think medicating children who aren’t completely capable of judging the effectiveness of the medication should be avoided if possible. A parent that wants to tone their child down with meds isn’t always focused on the root of the problem which can often be nurture rather than nature.

the real attention …
the real attention should be focused on how to treat the individuals that actually have ADHD/ADD : How do you distinguish between those with “actual” versus “bogus” diagnoses, if the “diagnostic” tool is the same for all? Do you think children should be forced to take drugs, even with so many negative side effects, and for a “diagnosed” condition, with no medical proof?
December 10th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
lol, too many …
lol, too many people are misdiagnosed with ADHD/ADD and the fallacy that these natural methods are as effective as drugs is rather humorous. Sure, it’s a very good idea to attempt to get people off the drugs and treat it naturally but this in no way should be considered an “alternative” method. It’s important to try to treat it naturally purely because of those that have been misdiagnosed. Basically, the real attention should be focused on how to treat the individuals that actually have ADHD/ADD
