i can't help but talk about disorders. there are very many and some of them don't seem 'real.' And i know that there are many people in this world that do not 'believe' in them. I'll keep my opinions on which disorder is real or not to myself but what i want to talk about is how broad symptoms are. ADHD = inability to focus, inability to stay still, being hyper. Everyone gets moments like this. MOOD DISORDERS = sadness, raiod change in mood, these are symptoms of teenagers. We all get sad and pretty much all teenagers get moody. and what about PMS? when a female experiences that she seems to exhibit those symptoms. PERSONALITY DISORDERS = no conscience, being able to lie with no remorse, these are also common. children exhibit symptoms of antisocial personality disorder in an attempt to avoid punishment.
I myself have exhibited throughout my life many of these symptoms. does this make me 'crazy?' possibily but most likely not. What is important in determining a disorder if it inhibits your life or the life(s) of others. What truly defines a disorder is how dangerous one becomes because of the symptoms exhibited

I agree that everybody has the symptoms of all the disorders. I think that we can only classify ourselves with the disorder if it happens for a long period of time, not just through our teenage years. With PMS i think it is a little different because its only a week or so of moodiness. I think when the "disorders" start getting serious and not only hurting yourself but others, then people should start to get checked for their disorders. For me this is a touchy subject because i know alot of people who have lied just to get pills but they dont change. It's hard for me to explain my thoughts on these without feeling hurt but I know that alot of teenagers seem to have symptoms of depression, adhd, and other disorders but they dont. Having symptoms of disorders doesnt make you "crazy" it just means that you portray some of the qualities that classify people as a person with a disorder.
