Davkaus Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Quote Instead of parents dealing with the fact that boys are more energetic than girls they are drugged, that is the sad truth. Well, you've solved modern adolescent psychology. Are there any other subjects you'd like to put to rights, with a complete disregard for the idea that people who've spent years researching the subject might know more than you?

Consequently, they're all doped up, and by dinnertime they are close to just falling asleep. Camille Paglia falls into that group as well. The nerve of her to tell college girls to make smart choices at fraternity parties... I heard the ruckus about Camille Pagila, didn't know she got banned too. Call it free speech, call it snowflakes being stupid. It's not helping young minds develop opinions of their own when they only see the part of the story that their surroundings allow them to. I don't mind people calling me out on my discussion points however that might be old fashioned now a days. Ritalin given to kids that don't need it is one of the plagues for young boys these days, I wish that doctors would actually go a bit deeper into the cases rather than taking said teacher/parent's word for it and prescribe drugs as soon as they can. It's much harder to try to get to the bottom of the problem of why a kid has energy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctors are too quick at throwing these tablets at that problem and other tablets for whatever else. I'm depressed, well here you go take these. It's the same with kids too. My kid is a bit hypo, well ok then he's probably got blah blah so take these. I think there is more pressure these days, or should I say a different kind of pressure from times gone by, and I'd say more people are stressed these days. I know I certainly am but I try to avoid taking anything for my anxiety and stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I was hyper as a kid. Working with kids with ADHD, as an adult, I'm fairly sure I had it to an extent. However my parents wouldn't dream of putting me on pills. Depression is a different beast. I've been on anti-depressants for anxiety twice, and they were a lifesaver.

Ingram85 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Punishing modern men for our sexist dumbass ancestors outdated attitudes towards women will only antagonise modern men, not make them sympathise. True equality needs to happen, there are long standinf issues that need to be solved but this current incarnation of ott positive action will only hurt that and create yet another divide. Modern militant feminism is no better than the male driven misogyny and sexism that they are fighting against and just creates a new problem instead of solving the current one. I also believe that we need to separate the normal and sane real world societal attitude from that of the inflated morally 'faux outraged' social media/journalism attitude. Most rational and normal men and women actually want the same thing while these twitter/YouTube bellend sjw types (on both sides) that enjoy the sound of their own voices want the end of days.

Yeah I would probably be classed as hyper too these days. I got up at 4.30am, ate breakfast, went to swimming before school, then school, then football, then rugby and then in bed, I don't think people had as much time to be "hyper" if you know what I mean. Put that me infront of a TV for more than 3 hours and I would go mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on anti depressants and I just didn't feel comfortable on them so I stopped and I had a month of hell coming off them. I know I'm too stressed and I just deal with the tight throat and tight chest but sometimes I'm tempted to go and see the doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've walked into my GP's many a times and been sent out with pills in 5 mins flat. Your GP centre must be thorough. There's probably about 10k people going to my surgery though so they have no time to talk to their patients and pills are a quick bandaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a bit of a crazy spell in my early-mid 20s and had to see a psychiatrist and ive had other counselling but don't think I was offered it when I went to the docs about feeling depressed.

maqroll Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) I've halved my Sertraline dose to .5mg, the lowest dose, but it still wreaks havoc on my sex drive. Thing is, it keeps a lid on my anxiety which had pushed me to the edge several years ago. Guess I've gone and fully taken this thread OT... Another controversial issue with kids these days is vaccinations and what afflictions they may or may not inadvertently cause as a side effect. I'm not anti-vaccine, far from it, but I totally empathize with parents who have serious concerns with anything that is prescribed their children.
