Insert horrified looks when I tell me friends some "funny stories" from my childhood. :D

It seems to me that mental health issues, including, but not limited to, ADHD, are being taken more seriously.

Previously, the lazy, slacker, troublemaker kids were just beaten until they did what they were told.

Yeah, I'd say the threat of violence is a pretty good motivator to overcome the symptoms of mental conditions, and at least mask so hard that people can't tell that you're a complete fucking mess, right up until the day that your mental health degrades so much that you off yourself.

Thanks.

Ever wonder why so many people break down in their 30's/40's?

I thought the mid 30s nervous breakdown was just the next big adult milestone...drive, vote, buy tobacco, gamble, buy alcohol, rent a car, get married, buy a house, have a kid, have a nervous breakdown, get a colonoscopy, and then just wait for the clutches of death.

I don't, but I'm sure other people are completely mystified.
