ADHD Drug Shortage Pushes Parents to Seek Substitutes

[3Marea:)]

How can there be a shortage of the ADHD drug? There must be am increase in children that heve ADHD. I don't think that most kids have ADHD. It is actually self applied ADHD so that they can get the attention from their parents and other people.

ADHD Drug Shortage

ADHD is not self applied its just the people who think if they dont have your undivided attention they should put you on a medication that makes them "normal" when i was in kindergerten my mom asked how many kids were on the medication and they said all but two. Me and my friend i think the medication is bad it makes you feel crappy and they didnt even care back in the day because almost every kid was like that now the adults think they can solve everything with medication the kids now who have "ADHD" will end up "normal" when they get old and "mature" i dont like the topic of ADHD because it is stupid and i dont care if they run out because it would be a good thing.

ADHD is kinda a complicated subject... some kids may be craving attention and they end up getting diagnosed with ADHD, yet they dont really have it. However, some kids actually do have it... its caused by a chemical inbalance...say that if you were in the womb and your mother was on some kind of "drug" (whether it be prescribed or illegally consumed), you may end up with that chemical inbalance and that may lead in turn to ADHD. I believe that not everyone who says they have it , actually do, but there are many out there correctly diagnosed...

I think ADHD is ways to et out of things to be honest. Some people do probably have it, but most kids don't. They don't do things, then get diagnosed with ADHD.
