Can ADHD be acquired? Or rather a symptom of other cognitive affliction?
I mean, you could get a psychosis which results in executive dysfunction. I have a friend who had a psychosis which changed him quite a bit.
I did not consider that possibility, I'll ask the blue rabbit who lives in my hat, tonight. :)
Well, he explained his psychosis as him suddenly not being able to sleep and then talking to nordic gods like Thor and Loki when his episode was happening, so if you start talking to that rabbit and don't sleep for like a week, then yeah, maybe it is psychosis 😅
The talking to Gods(or chairs or trees) bit is definitely the weirdest bit of psychosis because really you're only talking to yourself, and I've found I can kinda trick myself into revealing it's a psychotic episode by forcing revelation that my brain isn't prepared to fill in and it gets a bit obvious. Odd stuff, the mind.
