That explanation doesn't quite hold water- granted the population has grown but as individuals we probably don't know many more people and when you reach my age you know fewer and fewer every week. :lol::lol::lol:
Are more people becoming "unhinged" today?

What some of us term as crazy sometimes is just pure genius and enlightenment that we just can't comprehend.
If you were on the leading edge of evolution would you or the people around you be capable of fully understanding why you think different, act different, are spiritually different and just plain feel different?
It can't be easy riding the front of the bell curve.

So in spite of the population of the world growing exponentially, the number of diseases, disorders, etc. should be shrinking? We don't have information sources about people we don't personally know? What planet are you from?
Good point.
Probably no easier than being in the mundane middle or the unenviable end.
Too bad we medicate and humiliate those who are just too far ahead to understand.
Even after taking away their gift we still don't understand them.

Ahhh, but some people don't need to introduce any foreign substances into their bloodstream to behave in such a manner.
If it truly were crap, the concordance between monozygotic twins, and the strong genetic heritability would not be there.
You said that the idea of there being more sickos around because there are more people in general around didn't hold water.
So I asked a question. I didn't say you said anything.
BTW, you're still messing quotes up. Quotes work when there is a [ q u o t e ] at one end of a quote and a [ / q u o t e ] at the tail end. Omit one bracket and everything's screwy

Good point. And of course we now give some people labels to explain behaviour. ADD kids in school are an example - fifty years ago they would simply have been called lazy.
YOu hit the nail right on the head there Cliff. Not that I was ever any genius but in the early grades in school I caught onto what had to be learnt fairly quickly and then just became a nuisance to the teachers. :lol::lol::lol:
"Unglued isn't too bad- it's the ones who get "glued" these days that are becoming a problem. :lol::lol:
only the ones who have no initative. ADHD is only a problem if you let it become one... I made a choice as a kid i never wanted to be in those resource classes and i never wanted to be given extra time to write my exams, i wanted to be treated like the rest.

And 30 years ago they'd have been called hyper. lol
Then my kids, my hubby, and I have ADHD, I guess. Funny though, I don't seem to have a problem focusing for long periods on one thing.
exactly its only the kids with ADHD that want you to feel sorry for them that end up having the problem. "OH i cant do it, OH i try hard but i dont succed, OH life is tough" No **** life is tough, so you gotta harden the **** up
