You just don't do anything.

And so I just carried that.

But then I feel like residency just reversed all of that because I felt traumatized in med school.

And then in residency, all those pieces got rebuilt.

And they were like, this is what you're good at.

Lead with that.

And then we'll work on the back end.

I'm taking off my shoes.

Oh, please.

So the problem with that is it has had such an evolving course and it has had so many different names.

When it was first noticed, it was in the 1700s, we had a patient who was extremely restless and that's what we're describing now as fidgeting or a sign of like that physical impulsivity.

And then as it moved on, it got the name a hyperkinetic condition.

That was an interesting kind of segue because it really dialed down on the hyperactive component.

Then as we progressed, we didn't get into formal ADD territory, which it's not called anymore, until the 80s, I believe.

ADD.

Yeah.

And that's what I was diagnosed with initially.

That came later.

And then just recently in the DSM-5, I got beef with the DSM-5.

So now what our standard diagnosis is, is ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
