A lot of it is denial as well. In the mental health realm, for example, I meet a lot of Boomers who show obvious signs of ADHD and/or Autism and they haven't the slightest idea they have it.
If you ask one of them to get tested, they'll just stubbornly refuse and insist there's nothing different about them, even when you point out their symptoms to them. "A lot of people do this; doesn't mean anything!" Yeah well a lot of people are neurodivergent. Something like 30% of the population has ADHD, for example.
Just because a lot of people have a mental health disorder, that doesn't give you an excuse to just ignore it! You still need treatment and therapy.
No, they don't.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder.

So all NDD's — including ADHD — affect around ~15% of the population, but you're claiming ADHD alone affects ~30% of the population?

Ok Boomer
Oh, does science annoy you?
It's that very pedantic, dismissive attitude of yours that I was literally just complaining about before you walked through the door. I love science and dislike people who use it to win an argument.
(Also fuck Will Ferrell. Dude isn't funny. Stranger Than Fiction is his only good role cause it's the only one where he doesn't act like a fucking man child.)

Stop replying so god damn fast with your shitty, unfunny gifs. You respond before I can even finish editing my comments.
Are you just sitting in front of your phone, waiting for the mail icon to pop up in your Lemmy app? Go away and find a hobby. I was just making conversation; I don't care enough to argue with you.
Yes, am "sitting in fron of my phone."
On a scale of 1-10, how annoyed are you that you can't address the science I linked?
