Baroness Greenfield bemoans the impact of television and of excessive computer use on children's attention spans. And she has a point. Up to a point.
But mostly for being born boys rather than the girls wanted and expected by their mothers (more and more of whom know little or nothing about men or boys anyway), half a million British children are now drugged up to their eyeballs with Ritalin and such like as "treatment" for various non-existent conditions.
In fact, having long since decided that femaleness, simply in itself, was a medicable condition requiring the pumping of women's and girls' bodies full of highly poisonous substances in order to stop those bodies from doing what they do naturally, we now seem to have decided to treat maleness in the same way, and to get in even younger than we did with femaleness.
But has anybody noticed? Now, that's what I call an attention deficit.

My name is Karen Wood and i would like to show you my personal experience with Ritalin.
ReplyDeleteI am 34 years old. I took this drug for about three days and hated the anxiety that it caused. It made me very nervous and I was way anxious! What an awful feeling to have! As soon as I stopped taking it - the anxiety and nervousness - completely gone.
I have experienced some of these side effects-
dry mouth, anxiety
I hope this information will be useful to others,
