In the "sports" world there are LOTS of drugs.
From the beginning they where meant to heal sick persons.

Or rather persons who 'think' they are sick.

Yes. 'think' Lance Armstrong.
Actually he was very sick suffering from cancer in the early 90's but recovered and got healthy.
He also met a lot of Medical profesionals...


Yes, medicine for curing cancer is Very necessary, that's a fact.

But not in sports unless you have cancer that's a fact.
Just tell everybody that you are on medication for something and its OK...


Medication for mental health problems shouldn't exist in the first place. They created those diseases just to make the profit out of medication for their 'cure'. When the world didn't have any governments (prehistory e.g.) people didn't need those medications and I don't believe people died from those mental diseases either. Of course, the invention of medication for life threatening diseases are milestones in human history.

What!
Mental health problems are rare.
Mental disorder problems are common.
About 10 to 12 % of the population SUFFERS in the World from mental disorders.
Are mental disorder life threatening?
YES.

Is the world always supposed to be a lovely place to be living and do you assume it to be so?

Read the thread title and make up your own assumption.

As usual life is neither heaven or hell, but at least we are able to make up our minds about both places.

I wouldn't go that far. I believe that mental health problems exist and that medication can help.

However, i'm not convinced they're as prevalent as some would like us to believe. A few patients have genuine mental trouble, the rest just need to pull themselves together!
Dyslexia for example, does exist in a few cases, but most 'dyslexic' children aren't dyslexic, they're just thick.

ADHD i'm not sure exists at all, they're just children who weren't thwacked by their parents regularly enough.
Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

Dyslexia does exist in many cases.
It's not a mental disorder. I think it's about eye movements...
No medication needed.
Our king "suffers" from it, and his three childrens.

ADHD is Yet Another Word for PITA:)
No medication needed. Just Parent Guideness. PG13 ?

I'll have to introduce you to some actual ADHD children. You will soon change your mind. If you don't pull your hair out first. Any parent that doesn't end up whacking one of those children out of frustration is a saint in my books.

As to dyslexia, I am afraid that is very real too. My niece has it as well as Apsergers. Her teachers in the UK treated her like she was thick. When she moved back to America and when to school there she graduated from school with a GPA of 4.1 and got the Presidents Academic award. So not thick at all. Maybe she will be president one day.

Test yourself for Asperger Syndrome or if you have autistic symtoms. What we today call Asperger's syndrome was first described already in the 1920s and later in more detail by Hans Asperger in 1944. But it was not until 1981 when the researcher Lorna Wing took up his Asperger's thought that the term Asperger's syndrome was established. Only in the 1990s did the first internationally accepted definition of Asperger syndrome.

Note that Asberger and other psychiatric diagnoses require an investigation. On Comunicera we use always the interviews or observations to identify symptoms or behaviors of the children or adults who are being investigated. In order for an investigation to be meaningful and have a therapeutic or treatment preparatory function, it is also important to evaluate whether there are other causes of problems and examine whether the person has any comorbidity / co-morbidities such as ADHD, Tourette's syndrome.

Therefore, this test can only give you an indication if you are to conduct an investigation. To be diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, the person meet certain criteria, known as diagnostic criteria. In Sweden, both the American diagnostic manual DSM-IV-TR and the World Health Organization (WHO) manual ICD-10.mim are used.

Last but not least:)

No, I'm a perfect example of Nature's cruelty.

Read the thread title and make up your own assumption.


People who cannot mentally handle their biological body, or the world we are living in these days and who tend to become addicted too easily, find their comfort in hard drugs or any sedative, unfortunately.

As usual life is neither heaven or hell, but at least we are able to make up our minds about both places.


Free will, I'd like to call that.

Edit: Added a P465 to my list here.


I'd call that a very good idea.

Didn't want to derail the NSA thread & it does suit this one better...

I speak from experience, being quite active in the spiritual world. Lots of 'activities' out there.

Ah yes, the 4th Dimension, funny thing that, only druggies see it :-)

Mystics used to see it as a place where spirits lived, since they weren't bound by our earthly rules.

Halleluja. I can see it:)
The hypercube

Well sort of...
Its a projection of a 4D cube in 3D shown in 2D:)
A cube has 8 corners.
How many corners have a hypercube?
Hint. Think binary. Count corners in 0th 1'st 2'nd and 3'd dimensional objects.
No drugs needed:)

I met a drug addict once.
When walking from a subway train in T-Centralen (thats like Kings Cross London) a man walked and fell in to the tracks.
I have never seen so many quickly disappear from the place.
I was suddenly the only one on the platform giving him a hand...

Yes I saw that but, you quoted a story that about a drug addict who came clean as soon as challenged, then lost his job anyway. I really can see no connection to Archie Bunker just because somene compared you to him.

Still at least we all know how you really feel, all drug addicts in your eyes only have themselves to blame and should be laughed at correct?

As I said "Lovely attitude" goes with UKIP I suppose.
