> I can focus on my work all day with no medication if I'm doing something that I find personally interesting. However, when I have a week's worth of online coursework and boring bookkeeping to do it's impossible to get more than 5 minutes done without staring out the window, putting something on in the background, and twiddling my thumbs. I can still buckle down and get work done without it, but it's so much more mentally draining to do a week of work without any medication than if I were just to take what the doctor recommends.
How do you know that other people have it harder? My suspicion is that we all suffer in quiet desperation.
I often wonder what kind of impulse drives someone to think, believe, and then confront others with their insanely regressive opinions. At least today I have a concrete answer.
In case you're still confused, there's this thing called the DSM that people use to diagnose/classify mental disorders. It's a pretty big deal.
