Anyone notice Sam has ADHD?
 

Seriously have you noticed?

Made a thread on this earlier. It looks likely, definitely undiganosed though.

i remmeber people saying jj had that it was so laughable, i do believe sam could have it

Umm... yeah not sure about Sam, but that's me alright.

If Sam has it, then he is definitely in the hyperactive category.

Yeah well that's what I'll have if he's voted out...

Er how?

If Sam does have it they should not have put him in the house, for his own and the safety of others.

If BB have put Sam in the house for his *antics* and his *antics* are due to a mental disorder (ADHD) that is wrong.

The way Sam was rocking back and forth with the washing airer after the coffee was wrong, even by BB standards. Sam should not be in the house, it's like a mental freak show using his ADHD.

Look at the symptoms - will sum up my mood completely. Particularly showing my emotions without restraint and acting without regard for the consequences. Might even blurt out a few inappropriate comments...

You go girl lol

Anyhow, I don't think he does have it. You'll be sayng he has Aspergers' next - or have I missed that thread?

Oh dear god here we go again, if he has it, he shouldnt be in the house...


Like all of a sudden having read other peoples comments on the thread stating he may have aspergers, and then googling the symptoms of ADHD, suddenly makes you an expert.

Housemates are medically examined, BB obtains a copy of their medical records, they are also assessed by psychologists. They have psychologists watching over the housemates. But its down to some sit at home amateur armchair psychologists to decide what an ADHD sufferer can and cant be expected to do.

Incidentally there is no definitive proof that e211 causes hyperactivity, either by itself or in conjunction with other food additives.

According to this forum housemates are all fake, secretly gay with underlying mental illnesses. Seriously people, stop being naive assoles.

I've said a couple of times there's nothing wrong with Sam that a kick up the ar5e and a dose of Ritalin wouldn't fix.

Isn't that what everyone says abouit ADHD? :hugesmile:

Following extensive research, I think that is the accepted diagnosis, yes :-)

Indeed, before the modern day experts defined ADD/ADHD the best treatment appeared to be a smacked arse every once in a while. Apparently it rebalances the hormones and chemicals in the brain that need it.

Fair comment, saying that should bb have alowed Pete as a housemate? this is genuine question, not a go at Pete.

With regarding Sam, he is definately hyper, think he just doesn't know where to draw the line with joke/banter/teasing what ever you want to call it. No diferent to when John james doesn't know when to stop ranting/moaning

Ridiculous - he is on big brother - not exactly a normal life situation. ADHD requires a medical diagnosis from a doctor, not forum members on a bb site.

And why the hell haven't the avatars been switched off - it is painful using this site when it is running so slow! They should be switched off automatically when bb is on surely!

Pete has tourette syndrome while putting him in the house may have seemed to pander to the voyeur type viewer mentality his presence in the house did in fact highlight awareness of the syndrome, this was noticable by a marked increase in donations to not only specific tourette charities but also to general mental health charities.

As for any housemate being a danger to themselves or others, not singling out Pete or Sam, BB have a duty of care to protect the mental and physical health and welfare of all housemates. If a housemate did blow a gasket and look as if they would either injure themselves or others, they would step in.

Its safer to step in at a convenient early point rather than let things escalate to the point where a housemate is injured or needing psychiatric treatment than risk the potential adverse publicity and inevitable lawsuits.

I think it sounds like it could be true. I definitely think he reacts to caffeine badly. His behaviour was terrible after the coffee. Like feeding a child tonnes of sweets.

maybe but its a very mild case.they would never k nowingly put a AHDD sufferer in the house

yes lets just lock everyone with adhd or any mental disorder away and don't let them mix with society/ even if he does have it so what there not mad people just very lively which frankly i think the house needed. i'd rather watch him than the rest of the dead heads in the house.:devil:

Hell no, lets find some Downs teenagers young people and put them in the house to have a laugh at. Or do you have any limits at all to who you think it is OK to exploit on TV?

Well, it certainly didn't make you an expert, you don't even know the difference between aspergers and ADHD. LOL.

I can tell you for a fact that you are wrong about that.

What has E211 got to do with this thread and ADHD? WTF?

You think that disapproving of exploitation of vulnerable young people for TV entertainment is the same as them living in society, are you nuts? Of course it's not the same thing, duh.

rlmao.
