Hi everyone,
I've read that some scientists 'believe' or theorize that a certain part of ADHD peoples' brains fails to mature, and that this part of the brain remains stuck at a level of a toddler's for the rest of that persons life. Of course, this has to do with impulse control and attention. Personally, I don't like the theory, but I certainly can understand its premise.

hi dj and everyone,
By my nature, Ihave to say I have always preferred introversion. I see so clearly the benefits of introversion ...that is for society. Most likely, all great poems, religions, music, books, songs are works of deep thinkers and deep feelers (introverts).

I've noticed, in my life, (much to my dismay) that being extraverted and feeling good generally have gone hand in hand. But for the most part, I cannot not be introverted.

Is it possible to be introverted and not feel depressed or tortured? Does anyone know if there is a correlation between mental illness and introversion. I would not be surprised if there was.

Janice
