I have a question as a newcomer no this community aswell as adhd in general: WHAT THE HECK?
Like seriously. Is adhd just a collecting tank for literally every mental disorder or emotional disturbance? How to ever explain what adhd does if these memes provide so much different information at once. How can all of this be adhd. Maybe its just human nature. Help.
There's a lot of overlap in experiences of folks with different mental conditions. Whilst the root cause is different with a neurodiverse brain or mood disorders or personality disorders they might lead to similar experiences. The question becomes how much is it impacing someone's life or how well can those behaviours stemming from these experiences be integrated. There's also the fact that self-awareness might be picking up on those experiences better in one group compared to others.
