Yup, the math doesn't lie. I got evaluated by a doctor that specializes in attention disorders and sure enough I have ADHD, and it so happens to be the dangerous type you can't really identify right off the bat unless you get checked. The doc was sharp as forget, I posted another thread about how I thought I had ADHD from the get-go before going to see him, and in the end of the evaluation he said he had picked up on the fact that I thought I had it while I was doing the second test. He also said the tests work towards hampering things like self-diagnosis and other mindsets, so the results were not affected. On the bright side, my mathematical skills and attention to detail are ridiculous, and I'm apparently in the 88th percentile (meaning, out of a population of 100 people, only 11 would be capable of performing better psychologically and intellectually). With the effects of ADHD, I'm currently performing around 65th percentile. It's a pretty big difference, it explains why I'm even capable of passing most of my courses. So they gave me medication synonymous to ritalin, except it works allot better into the average adult's day (take once per day instead of 3). They're going to titrate the medication concentrations up until I get the maximal effects out of it. So far I've been seeing a small difference, I'm starting to notice more things. Anyhow talk about attention disorders here. |

It's a good idea to get evaluated by a psychologist or a specialist in the field, I don't like to say doctors might be wrong but it is a current problem that the medical society is quite aware of. --- Quote from: ladios on June 20, 2009, 02:58:27 PM ---Because America is so loving polluted and all of our hosing sucks ass.
