    If you’re seriously asking me whether healthy eating and sleeping are on the front lines of treatment against ADHD then I think that’s itself an admission you have zero familiarity with these things save for your wikipedia reply guy binges.

    The fact that treatment is coming around more to working on environmental and behavioral factors (rather than throwing random stimulants at kids to see what happens and how much money we can make pharma monopolies) is proof that it’s just a product of unnatural pressures being placed on kids. We just need more education funding instead of tax cuts for pharma executives. Kids need better lesson plans, more engaging education, a structured environment, there are a lot of positive examples we can look to for treatment of these issues rather than pretending diet, exercise, sleep and boredom don’t exist.

      LMAO caught in your lie you dumbass. First you said that ADHD is caused by poor eating habits and lack of exercise, and now that you get confronted on that you shift your tone of voice and argument to “improving your lifestyle habits is used to treat ADHD”. No shit sherlock, I’ve said that in this thread.

      The fact that treatment is coming around more to working on environmental and behavioral factors (rather than throwing random stimulants at kids to see what happens and how much money we can make pharma monopolies)

      You can have both, having both is actually extremely effective at treating ADHD compared to just one, psychiatry researchers know that medicine isn’t a cure.

      is proof that it’s just a product of unnatural pressures being placed on kids.

      Yeah no you’re bullshitting so hard right now. You keep nagging me for different evidence, hoping I don’t provide it, yet when you make outrageous assertions like this you don’t actually have a source backing you.

      We just need more education funding

      Plenty of people with ADHD are extremely well-educated, do you think people with ADHD just can’t be healthy or educated? Some of the most successful people on the planet have ADHD, Bill Gates included.

      instead of tax cuts for pharma executives.

      This is just something that’s generally true, not specific to ADHD.

      Kids need better lesson plans, more engaging education, a structured environment, there are a lot of positive examples we can look to for treatment of these issues

      Plenty of people with ADHD have this. They still have ADHD. This is literally part of how ADHD may be treated in many cases my guy, you’rr acting like ADHD treatment doesn’t exist or that people who undergo it stop having ADHD.

      rather than pretending diet, exercise, sleep and boredom don’t exist.

      Except ADHD isn’t caused by a lack of a good diet, excercise, sleep, or boredom, it is well established in psychiatry literature that these can present as symptoms, and that laziness doesn’t “cause” ADHD; and you clearly know your claims are bullshit too since you have no source.
