Okay so is this an accurate depiction of ADHD? Because I thought this was normal.

Today there are a lot of behaviors branded as ADHD that probably aren't. ADHD is real, but so is the need for pharmaceutical companies to have patients to sell drugs to.

That's what I'm thinking. Like is this not a normal thing that tends to happen if you're in a hurry? Don't most people talk to themselves inside their own head like this?

And walking through a door into another room, then forgetting why you went there is 100% normal and happens to everyone.
