The myth of chemical imbalance in the brain
In order to justify the prescription of additive drugs(narcotics) pharmaceutical companies has convinced a lot of people that mental illness is due to chemical imbalances which has been dis-proven time and time again.
Here is a psychiatrist that tells the truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq1IwrSNhUo
The myth of chemical cure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV1S5zw096U i found this study http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-05-l ... tml#inlRlv which concluded that the only chemical imbalance is the one cased by the drug(ritalin). Ritalin/adderal improves concentration regardless of whether of not the patient actually has adhd, this is why many students use it.
Dr amen claims brain scans allows fof better diagnosis/treatment, he actually looks at the brain

However a lot of scientist does not buy into his methods http://www.quackwatch.org/06ResearchProjects/amen.html as far as i know it has not been proven that he actually is able to improve treatment and he is also very into prescribing a lot of drugs.
Of course it is just much easier to take Ritalin/adderal if you have concentration difficulties when studying, the demand for drugs tend to be met, there is several ways for students to get these drugs
-convince a psychiatrist they have adhd/add and get it for free or very cheap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnAfGrUx2eg
-buy it from someone who get it prescribed
-buy it online/similar.
I be leave on reason for the high drug usage is the policy to try to educate everyone, a large portion of the population will have a hard time with maths and other theoretical stuff and turn to stimulants on order to perform. I was also bored and unable to focus often when i was studying maths but i still passed the exams since i was talented in it, maybe i would have got a better grades if i had used stimulants but it would not be worth it.
I do not doubt that most people have mental issues, very few has "ideal" brains, actually no one has an ideal brain. Mental illness is not binary but it is a continuum where some people is more functional than others. Some people is highly functional in some arias and not well functioning in other areas.
