    I’ve had this vague idea for some time now that you could map metal states to a (N-dimensional) Cartesian plane, and set “normal” as the origin. Since no one is directly on the origin, everyone could be defined by a magnitude and an angle. Everyone in a certain “direction” could be mapped as ADHD, but their magnitude could vary. More testing would reveal more people closer to the origin - and infinite testing could diagnose every person with something.

    I wonder what the polar opposite of ADHD is?

        Their are a lot of correlation between diagnoses. I was thinking about those basic diagnostic tests that have “Strong disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, and strongly agree.” If a certain set of responses gets you “probable ADHD”, what would the opposite responses get you?
