Do you like the concept of being diagnosed with a "mental illness" by doctors who dont know a damn thing about you?

Idk, in school i was one of those kids who was in Special education. The school thought that there was something wrong with me mentally. I mean, i appreciate them taking the time to recognize that i have something wrong with me 🙄 But did they seriously had to call in a specialist to try to tell me I have a "mental illness" because of the way i acted? I was child!!! All children are weird!! How you gonna sit down with me and observe me for ONE DAY and tell me who i am? I just hated that. Maybe im overreacting but, what was the point in that? But now the same thing is happing to my sister who is 8!!! PEOPLE, LET ME CLEAR THIS OUT FOR YOU, YOU CAN NOT DIAGNOSE A CHILD!!! SO STOP TRYING!!! Stop trying to prove that you know shit cuz you got your phd or whatever degree you got. I mean, you can give a piece of paper to anybody and call them a specialist! Good God. Sorry for the long rant but im just done. Im pretty sure I dont have Asperger🙄🙄🙄 Im pretty sure i have ADHD of some sort but nobody wants to diagnose me with that. I think im aware of who i am.

It could be something in your environment or food that is messing with you. There was a doctor who has said that ADHD is really non-existent and it's sugar and junk food (and even diet soft drinks) that is affecting children's brains and behaviors, and I might add mercury in the vaccines (or other sources) that can affect young brains. The medical industry is making too much money off these newer health "conditions" for them to admit that they can be reversed with proper diets and lifestyles.
