Only just found out about this For the record, you don't get multiple genetic markers and one of the most effective medications known to science with 'social constructs' Channel 4, this is, in scientific parlance, an absolute fu*king disgrace that will genuinely endanger lives #c4 #ADHD

  • @Garwboy@ohai.social isnt every medical diagnosis a social construct though? Some person or group of people agree on what is defined as normal variation and ability, and what is pathological. E.g. what is a "normal" blood pressure. And what is hypertension. I guess there are genetic markers for risk, and effective medication here as well.

    @Garwboy@ohai.social New Fediverse documentary, The Great Journalism Myth?, seeks to determine whether Channel 4 is a source of hate and fascism, or a genuine outlet of journalism.

    @Garwboy@ohai.social Have you seen this documentary? Does it give equal measure to all points and counterpoints?

    @Garwboy@ohai.social I guess that depends on their conclusions. Hopefully they will conclude what we know to be true. The headlines may just be click bait to get the 'I told you so' people to watch and think

  • @Garwboy@ohai.social Of course they picked ADHD and not "The Great Erectile Dysfunction Myth. Genuine disorder or social construct?."
