  1. ADHD is scannable. Hello?? "Traditionally, ADHD is diagnosed by a combination of psychological and physical evaluations, sometimes including lengthy questionnaires or tests. But over the past two decades, research has shown that the brains of patients with ADHD look different than the brains of people who don’t have ADHD. These differences show up on various brain scans in multiple types of imaging, including a functional MRI, called an fMRI. In a recent study, brains of children with ADHD showed alterations in three regions (the left temporal lobe, the bilateral cuneus and the area around the left central sulcus). Within those patients, brain scans also showed differences in patients with different subtypes of ADHD: inattentive and a combination of inattentive and hyperactive. The distinctions had 80% accuracy."

  2. I'm pretty sure I have mild ADHD. But guess what I did to combat my attention deficit through school? I studied in short bursts instead of long hours. I made colorful doodles to otherwise boring lecture notes. I never kept any deadlines in my head, but noted them down on a planner I carried around. Your brain is naturally leaning a certain way doesn't mean you cannot do something about it??

  3.  @VivatVeritas1  Literally proved that it is not circular reasoning. That the brain is wired differently from birth. The egg came first.

  4. Woah, the DSM5 is smol. I thought it would be like a massive uni textbook with air-thin pages.
