And I had the term reactive in the name.

I would have used the word dysphoria, but again, most people don't know the meaning of that.

I mean, the guys way back when who were doing the treatment-resistant depression award wanted to emphasize dysphoria.

just how bad this was.

It was not normal suffering.

It was not normal depression or anxiety.

It was unbearable.

So they wanted to put it right up there in the name.

And they did, in Greek.

It got all the other guys in Harvard.

They wanted people to know that that was the real feature that mattered was the intensity.

These are normal emotions that most people have felt at some time.

It's just the sudden overwhelming intensity of them.

A misdiagnosis because they don't even think of it.

And we were named, the book we were working on, it was Diagnosis and Treatment of ADHD.

Drop diagnosis, diagnosis is nonsense to begin with.

It's now the recognition and treatment of ADHD.

Because that's the problem.

Is it for most clinicians?

Indeed, most people.
