Take an animal from the wide open spaces. Put that animal into a little cage. Take it away from being able to run daily across wide open spaces. Watch it start rapidly develop nervous behaviors, ticks, self harming. Now: Start blaming that animal for its condition. Label its condition. Tell the animal its condition is due to “genetic predispositions”. This exact scenario is mostly unique to the US where children no longer run outside freely for hours every day after school. In nations where kids can and still do freely run and play outside every day, there is no such thing as the pharma invented “adhd”. It doesn’t exist. Get it? They have no caged animal syndrome there. Only in disease loving, disease craving Amurica.

Is not all psychiatry based on unproven models? What does anyone actually know about how the mind works? How does a seed work? Can a field which fails to acknowledge the spiritual aspect of man be considered to have a valid model? Psychiatry with its implicit assumptions is anti-Christian and anti-divine at its core. Its teachings regarding the mind are no more valid than are virology's teachings on the cause of disease.
