@macro47 You quite simply do not know what you're talking about.

In adition to my post below, I want to point out that if you do a search for "DSM-IV AHD" you will see what the mental health department (who makes their money by finding ways to say people are mentally sick) has all the charectoristics laid out for what is ADD/ADHD. If you look at them closely, they are nothing but a list of anoying behaviors that teachers do not want to put up with in over crowded class rooms.

omg, you just described every hunam on this planet. Even some animals. ADHD is a fraud. It is nothing but the need to find something wrong with people not being unique in this world. zomg, you used finger quotes. You must have the need to fidget. Botom line is that in none of your videos have you seemed inpulsive, hyper or distracted from your task of making the video. This diagnosis is all subjective by the prospective of the person that is doing the evaluation.

This supposed expert mentions the "three main marks" of AD(H)D, but nowhere, in this person's video offerings, is there any mention of the three "subtypes" of ADHD, i.e., either presenting with "hyperkinetic" qualities or no. I'd think that someone who has made the myth of mental illness her "clerical" mission-and career- would have been conscious of the aforementioned. Moreover, every video is concerned with "ADHD," without making any discerning comments about "ADD." Sloppy video crafting.

@kerokerorincho Are you making appeal by way of medical fact or that of an article of faith? As our culture of sickness, and the politics that animates such discussion over "disease", there are politically galvanized groups for just about every disease and dis-ease state.

They think I'm a rebel, so I just pretend that i was, so they will not expect too much for me.... but deep inside i'm really in pain, because I know and God knows, how much I want to finish college... i'm glad dispite of the struggle and painful remarks of others... yeeeeeyyyy Finally I graduated... Once I'll find a job i'll go to doctor, to get help... Haiiissstt ; )

I did good in class when I was in elementary and High School and I graduated w/ honor, but I knew my struggle to focus in class then was not a piece of cake.. I cried, can't sleep, palpitate a lot, and scared all the time, because I can't focus.... My college years was a lot more tragic, because I quit 4 times, before I graduated.... I can't stand the pressure of college anymore, and other think that I'm a revel bcause I quit college... Such a painful experience...
