Over-diagnosis and Medication for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disor

This research paper will include strict academic research. It will begin by introducing the existence of an over diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and describing the many plausible reasons behind this diagnostic inflation. Although the reasons mentioned in the paper cannot be scientifically tested to provide a direct answer, factual evidence shows a valid correlation. Moving forward, the paper generally addresses the presence of mental disease within the American youth. However, one will see how mental disorders such as ADHD are classified in such broad terms. The format of the education system is examined as it creates a lack of sleep within the American youth. Education within America and inconsistent sleep patterns are looked at as possible links to an over diagnosis of ADHD. Think back to the days of elementary school and high school, did waking up half past the crack of down wear you down throughout the school day? Did your fatigue prohibit you from maximizing your potential? The latter reasons that link to an over diagnosis of ADHD are socio-economic factors. The main point of this research paper is to demand change within society. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder stands as America's capitalistic disease of choice. Abbreviated as ADHD, this mental disorder is prescribed to individual's who display a lack of focus and noticeably restless behavior. The diagnosis of the disorder is targeting the American youth and adolescents at a rapidly alarming rate. Treated with intense speed-like stimulants such as Vyvanse, Ritalin and Adderall, the qualifications and testing required to obtain these medications are becoming less stern.

Malala Yousafzai s Impact On The United States And...

In October of 2012, Malala Yousafzai was shot in Pakistan on her way home from school by a masked gunman. He came on her bus, asked for her by name and shot her once with the bullet going through her head, neck and shoulder. She survived but was in critical condition for almost 4 months all because she believed in her right to an education. In many parts of the world women are not always allowed to even attend school like women in the United States and Western world can. In many places in the Middle East and Africa women are required to stay home to learn to be proper mothers and wives and cannot obtain any type of higher education. In other cases, women are restricted in the kinds of jobs that they can have based on the outside†¦show more content†¦Scott Fitzgerald as he has his life set on winning Daisy and will not change his goals. As seen in these two novels, no matter where one lives or what one’s age and gender are, it is true that in order for one s dreams to become achievable, they must change based on the values of society. Perhaps Jo, from Little Women, is the most prominent example of someone who changes their goals, so she is able to achieve her dreams. Compared to her behavior at the end of the novel, Jo was very boyish as a child and had many unrealistic expectations for her future. She always claimed that she only desired to run and play with the boys. Jo is a free spirit and can never be tied down so she never made plans to marry or have any children. When talking about her plans for the future Jo claims: I’d have a stable full of Arabian Steeds, rooms piled with books, and I’d write of a magic inkstand, so that my works should be as famous as Laurie’s music. I want to do something splendid before I go into my castle-- something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead. I don’t know what, but I’m on the watch for it, and mean to astonish you all some day. I think I shall write books, and get rich and famous: that would suit me, so that is my favorite dream. (Alcott 163) A companion is never mentioned as part of her dreams, but rather horses and writing, which at this time were thought to be unladylike. Also, she desires to do something amazing that will make an impact on
