Hey everybody who knows about the history of mental illness. Someone I care about has ADD and is really badly disabled. I have a big ask of you.

Where can I read a history of societal attitudes to people with poor focus and weak executive functions ***BEFORE 1920***? That is, not a history of the diagnosis. A social history of the empirical phenomenon.

There's lots of books about #depression. Help me out now!

#ADHD #ADD

anyone on my timeline with an in-depth knowledge of the Scottish university system? Or general UK? I’ve got some in-depth admin questions, about situations I am unfamiliar with from my German experience 🙈

(Also, ideally someone with understanding re #ADD and #ADDtax 🙈)

@estruppi Complêtement pour : j'ai ajouté un add-e ( https://www.add-e.at/ ) sur mon vélo VTC, plusieurs avantages : a) je garde mon super vélo des années 2000 b), j'ajoute que 0,7kg de moteur et 1,6kg de batterie, donc 2.3kg au total au poids de mon vélo : la reste léger, même si la batterie tombe en panne; c) maintenant, pour aller le matin au boulot, je gagne 25% de temps et je ne transpire plus, donc pas de douche, donc je gagne encore du temps; d) si je veux faire du musculaire, de toute façon >25km/h le moteur s'arrête. et e) si je veux, le système s'enlève totalement en moins de 5min.

Anyone with #ADHD or #ADD out there?
Does your work involve a computer with internet access?
How do you manage distractions?

How do you resist the impulse to go on hour long yak shaving tangents all the time?

I'm serious. It's gotten to a point where it threatens my employment.

Note: I'm already seeing a neurologist and receiving medication. I'm just looking for practical advice.
