Dang, how come March doesn't have anything good ::)Oh look, schitzo with Paul I guess :PI gotta remember what month an uncle was born in, he's been dx'ed as schitzo, oh duhm July, 5th, right before Mikey.

That is interesting

This sounds a lot like some kind of connection with Astrology? Does anyone else get that feeling? Not something I get into.

Hmmm...

DH - ADHD - December
DS - ADHD - December
DD - possible OCD - November
Me - ADD, asthema - May
Sister - ADHD - February
Father - bipolar disorder - August
Sister-in-law - anorexia, Major LDs - October

I could keep going but the end result is the same.

Nope - didn't hit the list with one person!

Me either Elizabeth...and I agree with ohmama...It seems a lot like astrology....but sometimes It is fun....but ADHD is serious business!!!

I don 't subscribe to astrology type things either. I just cut out the meaty part of this article. I thought it was interesting from a statistics point of view. I mean, you DO report your birthdate when you go to the doctor--legitimate patterns can emerge, even if they don't know WHY the correlation. Maybe it's just coincidental.

The reason I put it on the board is because I was in a chatroom for depression the other night and everybody's birthday(except 1) in the chatroom was September. It was odd. I don't see how your birthdate could influence certain conditions either, but I'm not a scientist. I don't really know what to thank or blame for my ADHD; I'm just busy dealing with it.

Major ditto!

I also can't tie up anybody I know with the list ... BUT it is still interesting ... and it is particularly interesting Buttercup that everyone bar 1 person on the chat room for depression was born in September... Things like that certainly make you think "hmmm" ...

Whether there is or isn't anything in it .. thanks for sharing it! ...
