This is The offisil position of medial expertis today. Yes it is neurologi al but not a deceese but a variation that is normal and have exceptionally positive function in human development. It is also paired with specific genes. People with these genes function better in some sircumstances and worse in others. Our Western society expect People to behave and function in a very unnatural way, for examples sittning still for most of The Day listning to something you dont need for yhe moment (school). In This situation someone with adhd have low function. But IF there is more action and alarm, even a catastrophy or just nesessity to find new solutions to new problems every day, someone with adhd will often function better than average. Therefor we are great firefighters, entrepeneurs, police, inventors, explorers, etc. A women with Adhd that works as chief doctor at the acute surgery in Carolinska hospital in Stockholm expresed it thus: "The more seriously injured the patiant is, The better I become at my work" person with adhd is one that can operate a hospital or a symphonia Orchestra with perfektion but still Will never remember where he or she put The car Keys. It is lso The person that Will forget your birthdy but Will be able to plan and throw together a fantastic party that overwealms you in just 20 minuters.<br />ADHD is not an illness. It is a personal trait that is experienced as a dysfunktion in Our societyNikolaj Sananés from Swedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351546202860604283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4224164233450496748.post-35881487542194634292019-01-30T10:26:58.116-08:002019-01-30T10:26:58.116-08:00It is neurological, which I think would keep it in...It is neurological, which I think would keep it in that<br />brain category. Most people don't understand that many of the people with which we are overly strict, are trying but are unable to stand up to the demands of society which causes depression and anxiety which is a mental illness and therefore doubles down on their need for an intercessor.

Is that is suffered differently among people; some experience symptoms worse than others. The sad part about this neurological disorder is that if it is not addressed with therapy, through education or medication while they are young and when they grow to adults its very hard to assimilate towards society expectations and many fall into low self esteem, depression, eventually drug addiction etc. and will not realize why there life is so hard.

Since she is the patron Saint of mental illness, ADHD/ADD would fall under her patronage. I don't think it hurts to have more than one Saint that you can turn to for help, though.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05688011266155055588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4224164233450496748.post-20174800653736714222012-02-11T09:39:13.363-08:002012-02-11T09:39:13.363-08:00Wouldn't ADHD/ADD fall under the patronageif S...Wouldn't ADHD/ADD fall under the patronageif St Dymphna?The Religious Pícarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620636294081499041noreply@blogger.com
