ADD isn't really a disease. It's a technical definition for you developing bad habits
I dont agree with this at all. ADD or ADHD is not something you learn, or something that happens due to your diet, upbringing, social environment

its something you are born with - it has to do with the way you are wired internally

and there is nothing bad about it, except that only10% of our population is created this way

therefor we (yes we :c) have a difficult time fitting into the way our society and educational and employment systems have been structured and run by that other 90%.

People described as ADD or ADHD make excellent:

Hunters, pilots, policement or detectives, soldiers, athletes, photographers, musicains, entertainers, actors, artists, race drivers, mountain climbers...

any field of activity or employment where the more things you can perceive or interact with at the same time, the better.

Its not a bad habit - you are a completely different type of person - lacking some abilities that most people have, but possessing other abilities that most people will never have.
