Lol I have ADHD but it has calmed down. I never took ritalin once in my life I don't like taking manufactured drugs to help with something. I just overcame it and now I'm kind of the opposite

yeah I guess you guys are missing some stuff

Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: depression is like
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: i cant describe it
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: you could be doing fine, having nothing at all to be stressed about
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: but then you just feel like absolute stuff
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: despair, stress, etc.
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: for no reason
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: my mom's entire side of the family has it and by god is it noticeable
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: uh
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: you're night fox, right?
Night Turkey: yes lol
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: so yeah theres a difference between the mental abnormality and simply being depressed
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: mainly being when you have depression (the brain thing) you will sometimes feel depressed for absolutely no god damn reason
Night Turkey: I thought it happened because your dog died or something
Night Turkey: or like your husband
Night Turkey: idk
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: im not sure but it can be genetic
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: i'm almost certain i inherited it from my mom
Night Turkey: I guess that could be considered a medical problem
Night Turkey: but then how come every stupid antirdepressant commercial treats it like something completely different
Doomcop "Big Al" Explodium: because the combination of capitalism and medical care is handicapped

I knew what depression was about, I thought you were making a joke out of that.
It's all cool now...

adhd is an excuse to sell depressant medications

Adderall is an amphetamine, and amphetamines are stimulants. Im pretty sure a good deal of ADHD medicine are actually stimulants too

[Feep]

I apparently have ADHD yet everytime i take the medicine it always gets me high


:( I can pay perfect attention without any medication, too.

I think Clinical Depression is an awful name because it's awkward to say unless you shorten it to "depression" and then everyone gets the impression that they know what you're talking about, when they're really absolutely different.

Four posts later:

Depression is an emotional state of mind caused due to mental pressure.

god loving damnit

Anyway yeah as far as I know stimulants are pretty much the only game in town for primary ADHD medication. If it's not amphetamine, it's a similar variation.
