What is Attention Deficit Whatchamacallit?

Question:

One my psychiatrists said I probably have Attention Deficit something or other. He was trying to explain it to me, but he tends to ramble on and on like my sister does sometimes when i'm trying to watch tv. Have you seen that new show called psych? That was pretty funny. I was staying in a hotel when I caught the season premiere, but it was on kinda late and I had to get up early. I hate getting up early. It's so.... early. I'm not a breakfast kind of person. Unless it's McGriddles. OOOOOHHHHH Have you had a McGriddle? They so do not taste good for ya. But what is good for you anymore? I think at one time or another the surgeon general has determined that everything is bad for you. Can you imagine being a surgeon? Holding somebodies life in your hands. I found a cut on the back of my left hand the other day. I have no idea how it got there. I can't think of anything that I might have done that would have cut it. I think it might be getting infected too.

Answers:
If you often find yourself calling people "what's his name", or the thing in your hand a "whatchamacallit", you may want to change your attitude. In a series of new experiments, researchers are finding that your preconceived views about learning can affect what it is you hope to remember. Memories, in part, seem to grow stronger or fade away based on where you stand in the nature versus nurture debate: Do you feel smart people are born that way, or can anyone become the next Albert Einstein under the right conditions?

You're referring to Attention Deficit Disorder. This is a very complex disorder with more symptoms than just a short attention span. It's usually found in children, however there is also a form of Adult ADD. The disoder is too long to describe in here. I suggest you search it and get more information.

I think you are making fun of other people and should be prevented from reproducing.

its really not that funny

When your doctor diagnosed you with ADD did he provide a summary?

"Attention-deficit/hyperactivi... disorder (ADHD) (formerly known as ADD) is a neurological disorder, usually diagnosed in childhood, which manifests itself with symptoms such as hyperactivity, forgetfulness, mood shifts, poor impulse control, and distractibility.[1] In neurological pathology, ADHD is currently considered to be a chronic syndrome for which no medical cure is available. Pediatric patients as well as adults may present with ADHD, which is believed to affect between 3-5% of the human population."
