And how many people out there go thru life with a problem that could be controlled with a proper diagnosis, but isn't because people think they know what is wrong. I have a friend that that served 20 yrs in the Air Force and was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. He is on disability, probably for the rest of his life. If you or someone you know might have a problem, don't ignore it or think you know what the problem is, get help and you might live a better life.

I agree Jebster. Despite what people interpret from my posts, I can't stress the importance of a proper diagnosis.

Many kids do need it, but how many of you old-timers had Ritalin way back when>? Most were probably prescribed the belt, and you all turned out fine! 8)

Way back when I was a kid :shock: the only prescription available was some heavy duty disciplining, aka "asswhuppin". Generally tended to fix whatever ailed you.

Yes, some people have ailments, conditions and problems better handled by medical professionals...but way too many people think a pill will solve all of their problems..... And alot of them just need to extract their heads from rectal defilade and get with the program....and all will be right with the world.
