I mean... make sure you get your vitamins (not from pills if possible)... and don't forget to breath...
Some chemicals seriously solve major problems (like hypoxia).
When it comes to ADD/ADHD... idk... I tend to think it's a crock of shit. I'm not a trained professional, though... and I only know of anecdotal evidence, so ... talking out my monkey ass a bit... OK... a lot.

I know I find it terribly hard to concentrate sometimes when people are talking to me - people I love, who are talking about things that are important to us - and I frequently find my mind trailing off and I have to ask them to repeat themselves. I seriously wish this did not happen and I could focus on them the way I can focus on a logical puzzle or engineering problem. I feel quite guilty about this on a daily basis.
So idk if that's ADD or not, but it's there, and it causes me grief... if it were amplified a bit more, it could be overwhelming to the point where I couldn't communicate with anyone effectively face-to-face.
And that's what we're talking about: it's all matters of degrees. At what degree is a quirk a psychosis? Who's to decide how traumatized you are by yourself?

I just want some Spice. "It is by will alone I set my mind in motion." I know it's from the 70's movie, and not the words of Herbert, but I think he might have been a tad jealous over that line.
