There was a powerpoint thing a class did, about self esteem. Someone literally said in the powerpoint that adhd causes low self esteem.
I have fucking adhd.
Low self esteem does NOT cause adhd, and i want to fucking slap that kid right now.
Google:
"The exact cause of ADHD is unknown, but research suggests that it's likely a combination of factors, including:
Genetics--ADHD can run in families, and while no specific gene has been identified, several genes have been linked to the disorder.
Brain development--People with ADHD may have differences in brain development and neurobiology compared to those without ADHD. For example, children with ADHD may have reduced brain matter volume and different brain region activation.
Environmental factors
These include:--Prenatal factors: Being born prematurely, having a low birth weight, or exposure to toxins like alcohol, smoking, or lead during pregnancy
Other environmental factors: Nutrition, social environments, brain injuries, or exposure to pollutants"
I don't see a single fucking thing about self esteem here. Might be overreacting, but it fucking pisses me off.
