Dylan Vs. Attention Deficit Disorder
As of last Friday I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (or ADD for short). I have kept reasonably quiet about the whole affair, but I think there comes a time where one needs to embrace himself for who he is and not hide his flaws.
I can’t say I was overly surprised by the whole ordeal, ever since I was 16 I had expected I was different mentally from my peers. This mainly came down to my inability to study or yet alone pay attention in class.
ADD is cause by a lack of Dopamine in ones brain. Dopamine helps you concentrate, so naturally having a lack of Dopamine in ones system causes that person to day dream a lot and have difficulties concentrating.
This explains a lot of things that I have always wondered about myself and it is nice to finally have some answers.
The fact I have been diagnosed ADD doesn’t change who I am. I am still the same person I have always been.
Thanks for understanding.
