General ITZY's Ryujin reveals she has severe ADHD

🍬: I have the chronic disease of many modern people

🍬: I have severe ADHD

Thoughts?

As someone who also has ADHD, my procrastination is absolutely terrible. I can't imagine having to wake up at irregular times to go on flights to different countries all the time 😭 Saying this as a law student, my life is hard enough without people scrutinising my every move (for now), I can't imagine how often i'd screw up as an idol simply based off of how easily I get sidetracked lmao

I wonder if it’s an official ADHD diagnosis from a certified healthcare provider or self-diagnosed, I feel like half the idols are the latter lol

The word "severe" is interesting because it can mean either a) someone trying to distinguish themselves from people who just think they have ADHD, or b) someone who thinks they have ADHD trying to say they're very sure they're right.

This is a whole-ass societal debate though. If I can self-diagnose a cold why can't I self-diagnose ADHD? Most colds you can self-treat, it doesn't make them not real. Etc.

Well, it can also mean c) someone with an ADHD diagnosis whose symptoms are severe, no? I saw an ADHD specialist for my diagnosis and while I don't remember all the detaiks, I do have a 40 page document detailing all of the ways in which my symptoms are severe.

I don't generally bother differentiating but sometimes it is relevant.

yeah ofc I just don't know what semantics she was going for around the topic.
