sure Caocao and his upvoters meant well but yeah. this is always the issue with mental states though: we all tend to project our own onto other people, because we've never experienced how it feels to be wired any other way than the way we're wired
also the "ADHD is made up" thing is so persistent partly because the motive checks out, like I understand why people find it persuasive. "Kid fidgets in class so drug 'em until they sit still" has the same shape as a lot of school abuse stories we hear.
Bingo. The take is very "feels" based because if they bothered looking into the topic, they'd believe both the people affected by it and the mountains of research into it.
A friend of mine was actually part of this information cause he needed a brain scan and has ADHD so they got him to consent to provide data. There are like, actual brain imaging differences.
yeah cause psychiatry is doing such a great job combatting depression, anxiety, etc.
“doctors exist and yet cancer still exists, curious”
Psychiatry + psychology is saving lives and keeps improving. It has flaws like all healthcare within capitalism.
These are real phenomena but cannot be addressed at the individual level. Chemical imbalance in the brain is a symptom, not a cause
It’s both. Even in a communist society, you would still have chemical imbalances, depression, neuro-divergence, schizophrenia, etc. The system would just be accommodating and not adding more stress.
Thinking capitalism is the cause of all mental health issues is utopic and not based in reality. It willfully ignores science in favor of ideology that is outdated and deleuzional (pun intended).
Yeah, this is ableist as fuck. ADHD is not made up.

Yeah. Being neurodivergent is a pain in the ass in a society that is built to squeak effencies out of the median brain chemistry.
You learn to deal with it in different ways, but everyone is very much wired differently along a spectrum.

"oh hey, being a chode got a response."
So you're what, admitting to intentionally trolling?
germ theory = ideology. Read capitalism and the four humours by deleuze.

alright, I see you're doubling down on this without education
let me ask you something. where do you think schizophrenia comes from? can anyone develop schizophrenia if they have a bad day?
