I think you should re-read the main article because you are completely missing the analogy here.

“Our ideas, our mindsets, and our beliefs feed back into the biology and change the biology in a way you can measure.”

+ are you missing the irony in my response to your ironic comment? The point of the article I shared is that the classification of diseases in France does not include ADHD. Link that with the OP article and you'll see how the existence of a description of syndromes in the US can make these syndroms actually appear in patients.

Seriously, it is a good read.

Could you develop please? I actually researched this field.

Do you think you will lose your penis if you spend enough time in Singapor?

Yes, I think ADHD patients could actually benefit from a stay in Europe: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/suffer-the-children/201...

That's an interesting point. But this overzealous diagnosis is made (from what I see) essentially in the United States, which is where the disease was theorized.

Yes, over-diagnosing a particular disease that has no equivalent (in the same proportions) accross the Atlantic is clearly a cultural marker.

Add to that the existence of a medication industry that needs this disease to exist and you'll see why the cultural belief gets self-reinforced.

Medical knowledge has a normative effect on reality (we build knowledge over the experienced reality but the knowledge has then an effect over reality in the way it is read and shared): that's why in the right conditions, new diseases can be created through a scientific process.

A hundred years ago we treated female hysteria as a normal deasease, in ways that are now considered catastrophic and extremely machist. At the time, all doctors were men. Now we know this diagnosis is bullshit.

Medicine happens in society: in a particular social context in time and space. And we should bring the same distant look over our occidental medecine as over any other remote ("traditional", as we say) culture, like the ones in the article.

Well, ADHD is one of them. We don't have ADHD in Europe (and no where else in the world).

Excellent, forces you to really think by yourself sometimes!

Some of the logic (starting at level 2) was similar to Ouverture Facile (http://www.ouverture-facile.com/start/index.html for the english version) which I encourage anyone to try if you like these riddles!

Looking for more!

Good times remembering every concert I've attended (or trying)! Hope you'll get the UX smoother with time.

I wonder where the shows database come from?

Good luck!
