    It already has a name: ADHD

    Edit: and the stigma against the disease continues. I thought you were better than this, Lemmy.

      “someone isn’t focused, they’re surely suffering from a neurodevelopmental disease”

        It’s absolutely an ADHD symptom if it happens every time a person tries to read. Whether or not they need medication is a separate issue.

          Oh yes, anyone who ever feels even the tiniest bit of infocus is ADHD. /ultrahypermegasupersarcasm

          Learn about the condition you’re talking about. You’ll get angry and start spamming shit at me, but that’s all before you’ll actually read anything more than a few sentences. I’ve read dozens and dozens of studies on this. You wont’ even understand what the word “neurodevelopmental” means.

          Headaches don’t mean you have brain cancer, does it**?**

          Headaches are a symptom of strokes, pretty much always. It doesn’t mean that you should think you’re having a stroke if you get a headache.

        Sure bud, tell me about the condition I’ve had all my life and how my life didn’t get immeasurably better when I finally got diagnosed and treated by a professional in my 4th decade of life.

        So ignorant and arrogant at the same time. Trump voter?

          Sometimes a headache is actually a sign of a fatal cancer that needs to be operated on.

          MOST of the time it isn’t.

          I don’t expect you to understand the difference.
