@LaughinMan-Interesting name,

I've recently been developing a theory as to the possible cause of ADD/ADHD which also extends itself into Bipolar Disorder.
|
Because they're the same category of disorder and everything.
Quote:
|
According to my theory, I believe that ADD/ADHD and Bipolar Disorder are in fact the same disorder only at perhaps different stages.
|
Oh, Ok, and what about depression, how does it fit? Then again why mention it, bipolar (Manic
Depressive) only shares more characteristics with it then ADD/ADHD.
Quote:
|
The root cause of the disorders stems from the deep repression of emotions.

Paging Doctor Freud.
Quote:
|
Why might an adult with repressed emotions not share symptoms with one who has been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD at an early age?The answer is the age at which the emotions began to be repressed.
|
It looks so good on paper, such a shame it's not true. (See Innerzone above)
Quote:
|
A child who has repressed his or her emotions differs from an adult who has repressed his or her emotions because the child's brain is still in development.
|
Then will thinking about fire while young make you a Pyro? (Answer;
NO.)
Quote:
|
I speculate that the emotions being repressed in the child causes a change in the way their brain functions, hence causing the symptoms seen as ADD/ADHD.
|
What? How?
Quote:
|
I personally do not believe ADD/ADHD are genetic disorders.
|
'And my belief is more important than any research, past examination of the disorders, or scholarly consensus'
Quote:
|
I believe them to be developed disorders, caused by the repression of emotions. .
|
On what evidence?
Quote:
|
What IS genetic, at least what I think, is the hyperactivity one finds in a child
|
And you hold your degree in genetics from where?
Quote:
|
It seems to me that those affected by ADD/ADHD are generally either born hyper or naturally emotionally sensitive.
|
Define hyper.
Define emotionally sensitive.
Gain a quantitative verifiable statement.
Gain a valid starting point for a hypothesis.
Quote:
|
Perhaps that is a gross generalization but the notion still stands.
|
Actually if you proof of concept is a "gross generalization" (and wrong) then the notion can not stand.
Use logic man, If you insist on trying peoples patients with drivel at least make it sensical drivel.

Anyone else feel that repressed emotions may play a key role in ADD/ADHD?
|
Hell. No.
