    I have ADHD and I am sick of people misinterpreting what it is!
    I have people saying that it doesn't exist, that it is a mental thing and lots more!
    ADHD is a chemical disorder.
    You make too much cortisol and it makes you aggressive.
    Scientific fact!
    I would appreciate your views?

    When you say misinterpreting what do you mean?

    Also i do not think a link to too much cortisol is "fact" as not all scientists would agree with that so its scientific theory.

    I mean people saying that it's not real, it's not a real disorder!
    And, I'm sorry, as far as I know the cortisol thing is 'Fact'.

    I have heard it mentioned in relation to autism. I think it is a little like depression where too many people are diagnosed with it, so when you truly have it, it is hard to get the right treatment and help. Apart from drugs that is, which of course are the answer to most illnesses many would say.

    I hadn't hear of ADHD making you aggressive, just more that you are hyperactive and so not the nice calm person society expects you to be. And interestingly enough adults as well as children can be diagnosed with ADHD.

    And it is related to PI the person who made the poll, is suffering from it.
