Reply to comment by SimilarLee in TIL that physically acting out your dreams (loss of REM sleep paralysis) is >80% accurate at predicting future brain maladies including Parkinson's, Lewy Body Dementia, and ALS by SimilarLee

Now you've moved me from my depressive mood into fearful studying of the subject. I've been diagnosed with ADHD as a child and as I got older, it rather developed into ADD, because the hyperactivity is gone. Could this be another factor? Our neighbour had ALS and damn that would be a good reason to commit suicide instead of drowning in your defunct lungs in your own paralysed body with full mental capacity still functional

They no longer diagnose ADD and ADhD separately. From what people can tell, some kids just display more hyperactive behavior with ADD. But the brains work the same in all cases, so this just seems to be a symptom
