I am kind of disappointed with the people reporting that they have been "suffering" with adhd or add. I was prescribed add/adhd medication from 5th grade until 12th. It wasnt until I started practicing yoga was I able to make myself focus.

I had always, my entire life, HATED taking "my medicine". It changed me, it made me just like everyone else. Now that I am in my later 20's I take pride in the fact that I am "ADD". It is disappointing that people with this gift listen to society and somehow think they are not normal. Take some time and read about benefits of having add/adhd, it will surely put you in a better state of mind.

I will say there are edgecases of people that truly have issues, but I beleive your average add/adhd patient could do without it.

Another thought. We are bashing these kids that have problems conforming to or being a part of our schooling standards. Why do they have to conform, why are more schools not conforming to the add/adhd children? Why must we have to change our natural state of mind? It doesn't make sense to me that we have to take drugs and alter the natural way we were made because we are outspoken in class, or dont want to listen to a teacher lecture.

Rant is over.
