It seems like everyone takes medication for their "mental problems" in order fit into societies expectations of what is normal.  If we accepted people for who they are then there would be more sane people in the world.  Just think about it, there are diseases out there that inhibit people either socially, physically etc. if we all let them do their thing then Darwinism should take order.  The people with the diseases would eventually be gone along with the disease itself.  Are we helping or hurting the evolution of humans by hiding these diseases and not letting them take their course?  Why can't we accept that there might not be a top to the food chain.  The food chain is just the circle feeding off the thing to its left.  Maybe even some of these diseases will help us succeed, but now-a-days most people are stuck in a job they find meaningless because they were trying to fit societies expectations whether its to just stand their and look pretty, makes lots of money, or to be the star quarterback.  They were taught from when they were young that if you fit the mold chosen for you, you'll be loved/liked, which in the end would make you happy.  What about being yourself, being YOUR normal self not societies definition of normal.   I must admit that i am indeed one of these people with a "problem" or more so told that i wasn't normal, because i didn't like paying attention in school (which seems normal for a child), always started something and never finished it, and would be thinking about a million things at once.  I believe that ADD isn't as serious as other diseases or abnormalities.  in fact since now-a-days it seems like every kid as ADD or ADHD that it should be considered normal right?  I am very bitter that i was even put into this category mainly because it is a part of me, with out it i am a puzzle missing a piece.  I've been on medication now for about 4 years now. I only use it on the weekdays during the school year.  I find that i am definitely more efficient so i can get those grades and do what society labels as work. But my creativity and my wild child spark are fading as a result.   I remember clearly this one moment between me and my sister that just filled me with shock, anger, and pain.  I was talking with her about this and that, and then randomly out of nowhere she says "I like you better on Adderall".  To me that was saying: I like you better when your not yourself, which is just complete bullshit.  I forgave her because she just can't see beyond tainted sunglasses society put over her eyes, and just see me for me.
