Sociological Analysis on ADHD(영문레포트)

-Yeonguenban-B00820970-2018-11-23Sociological analysis: MedicalizationTheory used: Symbolic interactionismWhen I was young, I was an exceptionally loud, distracted, impatient, talkative, and impulsive child. So one day, my parents brought me to a psychiatric hospital, and I was examined . I was diagnosed with ADHD and was prescribed medication. However, my parents did not give me the medication nor did they tell me about my diagnosis because at that time, a lot of Koreans felt bad about psychiatric medication, and they were afraid if people know about my diagnosis. I didn’t realize that I had ADHD when I was in high school, because the school was easy, and I could still catch up even if I studied by myself. However, after I got into the university, my attention deficit became a huge problem. I couldn't focus during the lecture, got Fs in courses that don't have a textbook and often forget the deadline for an assignment. Moreover, I procrastinated until the last moment and handed in slo5), and some people even call this ‘ADHD epidemic’. However, there’s a debate in whether ADHD is a real epidemic or just an epidemic of overdiagnosis.According to social constructionists, deviant behaviors become seen as pathological, they become medicalized (Brym, Robert and John Lie, 2017). There's interesting research showing the nature of ADHD. A group of Scientists discovered that men of a certain nomadic group in Kenya who had a genetic variant that’s implicated in the restlessness and shifting curiosity of ADHD, were better nourished than their counterparts without the variance. However, in a group of those same people who split off to live sedentary lives, the men with the variant were undernourished compared to their counterpart. (Megan, 2008)ADHD in fact is a disease that emerged in the 20th century. In 1902, British pediatrician Sir George Still found that some children cannot control their behavior gets hyperactive. He considered this as ‘lack of morality' that only childreas in high school, there was a boy named Ajax, and he a was typical ADHD patient with Impulsivity and hyperactivity. Because our homeroom teacher told him to have medication at every noon, everyone in the school knew that he has ADHD, and that made everyone treat him differently. Teachers were less strict on him when he got loud or got late. However, no one raised questions about this and thought he deserved it, because everyone, even myself who also had ADHD, considered him as different from ‘us’.The second person that I’ve meet with ADHD diagnosis is Chang. He was diagnosed with ADHD when he was in the middle school, but depression as a comorbidity. It got worse when he entered high school, So his parents had to hospitalize him. Among the ‘really insane’ people, he realized that he was very sane, so he went back to school within 3weeks. But because everyone in the school knew that he had been to the mental hospital, he was stigmatized. One day, he was standing behind the door, and hent." According to Labelling Theory, deviance results not just from the actions of the deviant but also from the response of others, who define some action as deviant and other actions as normal (Brym and Robert and Lie, 2017) Once the primary deviances-like procrastination and impulsivity- is labeled by authorities like professional, people label them and see them differently than before. Luckily, thanks to my parents, I didn't have to suffer from labeling.Also, even though many people suffer from labeling, some people, like Ajax and me, take advantage of it. Many sociologists consider conspiracy of pharmaceutical companies as the major cause of medicalization, (Pillips, 2006) but this is not the only one. Medical sociologist Peter Conrad pointed out that the patient group also played a key role in the medicalization of ADHD, because the stigma of ADHD reduces the blame on a patient himself. Once it is categorized every deviance, deviance is caused by something that I can't help (Peterge in Kenyan society. I also provided my personal story and story of my friends who were diagnosed and labeled as ADHD. In their story, it can be observed that labeling can an ADHD people or ADHD, by leading deviant act to secondary deviance. Thus, it can be argued that the concept of ADHD is enforced by labeling.ReferenceCamilleri, N., & Makhoul, S. (2013).
