As a diagnosed Beeper (with some doubts
from the medical circles), I do have
a tendency to be impulsive.However, that is a character trait, and
I have other character traits, such
as shyness, underchiever, low self-esteem,
and a mousy, librarian type life which
does not fit the "stigmatization".I think that personality analysis should
really be left out of diagnosis. I think
that diagnosing severe mental illness should
start with the brain. Just my opinion and
probably outside the DSM IV boundaries.Squiggles
