Worked in daycare when I was 19, I had a pre-K who seemed ADHD, come to find out, the parents beat the snot out of him too early in life (he was only pre-K, so not sure WHEN they decided to beat him, when he was crying as a tot or baby???) so much that he was no longer sensitive to rebuke, as he already knew that beatings take x amount of time, so therefore, he did what he willed. It was hard, he was very sensitive to taking directions, if I spoke sternly, he started to rebel and would yell and throw chairs and go wild, he did this with every instructor/teacher, while other kids just went along as told. I felt so much for him, as I understood the entire story and he was just a lil kid, and already at odds with authority, that broke my heart. I am not in the mental health care profession, so I can't state that he was ADHD or bi-polar. [/B]
I don't think ADHD is a proper diognosis, although I wouldn't be surprised to find attentional defecits.
Bi-polar, absolutly not.
I think the condition you are describing is called childhood trauma 😉

Maybe the mother had a terrible child bearing experience, and took this out on the child starting from infancy, maybe she was unhealthy while pregnant, and the proper amount of chemicals needed to balance the brain was not passed on to the fetus, maybe she drank too much, or didn't take her prenatal vitamins, something went terribly wrong, and now, we, society, figuring out what to do.
PPD?

He's still a person, God. He was passed on from one instructor to the next, and each time, he started rebelling in violent rants, throwing things, hitting instructors, throwing chairs, scaring other kids b/c he would go wild.
ok, here is my diognosis, seeing as I am not a health care professionsl.
Child is neglected. Child is beat. Child gets attention when they are beat. To get attention the child acts out. Because people give the child attention he continues to act out.
ADHD is not misbehaviour. /sigh

We know that light can be energy or matter (please don't read anything into this, such as "she's trying to sound smart", please just add value if you can, no egoism, please). De Broglie's equation states that all mater has wave-particle duality, which means, matter is BOTH energy and substance.
factually incorrect. "wave-particle duality" means that something has the properties of a particle when measured one way, and the properties of a wave when measured another. It cannot be either. Most matter does not follow this until we reach the quantum level where it collapses, and we do not witness quantum effects in our daily life, especially in our brains.

When we want to treat disease, we still only treat the matter/substance, we ignore the energy/spirit
energy, as described by physics, is a "placeholder for potential action". so ya, there isn't "human energy" or "spirit".

See, here is the problem with ADHD. Its not that it is really common or an epidemic (its not, very few children really have it) nor is it made up (fMRI studies have located parts of the brain associated with it) and it isn't a matter of not having proper treatment (both behavioural and pharmacological solutions have been very successful in treating real ADHD).
The problem is that idiots like you don't know what it is, and then you start labeling children as X, and getting mad at people in the psychologocal and neurological community when too many kids are addicted to the amphetamine based treatments because you keep telling them they need to take it.
Oh, and nobody takes their child to proper specialists. They go to their GP, they tell them what the comercial told them to give their kids, and blamo.
Before you even think about talking about a psychological disorder, look it up in the DSM. Its not that hard, and you wont look like you are talking out your ass.
Oh wait... this isn't a topic about ADHD at all, but in fact a way for you to talk about all of your nonsense spiritual crap and now confuse people even more who have had nothing but media misinformation fed to them about psychological disorders.
