When Too Cute Is Too Much, the Brain Can Get Aggressive

Re:When Too Cute Is Too Much, the Brain Can Get Aggressive by EGreg on Monday December 31, 2018 @09:28PM (#18798543)

EspeciLly in school where ADHD is overdiagnosed when the real problem is an environment with hardly any physical play and mostly sitting quietly for 7-8 hours.

I had a debate with someone where I argued that adderall and others are basically methamphetamines, one atom away from cocaine. Am I right?

Cocaine is a substantially different molecule, but yes, Adderal is amphetamine, and methamphetamine is effectively just an extra carbon atom (along with the extra hydrogens that go with it).

Arguably meth would be the better treatment...

It's available but pricey and not available in a variety of dosages.

See, desoxyn
