I think that might be the British in us. I feel like Americans are much more open to diagnosis of mental conditions like anxiety and depression. Perhaps because they are constantly bombarded with advertising for medications for them and other conditions.
- J-dawg 7y agoYou might well be right. But a diagnosis of what? I’ve often wondered whether I have ADHD, but I don’t have the other symptoms of forgetfulness, disorganisation and hyperactivity. Procrastination is a huge problem for me and I’d love to have a label for it, but I don’t think procrastination alone qualifies as a mental disorder.
- VBprogrammer 7y agoI guess I'm the same in a lot of ways. I can end up in a spiral of self destructive procrastination. I do identify with some of the other symptoms and experiences but not all of them. In truth I think that a binary classification is too much of a blunt instrument. The reality is probably more of a spectrum.
