ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder)

Your mind jumps. From one thought to the next, from one impulse to the next, from one idea to the next — without truly arriving anywhere. The world demands focus, concentration, a clear line. But your inner life does something else: it scatters, flutters, evades.

Medicine describes ADD as a neurological difference — a disorder of attentional regulation. And that description has its validity. But BodySignal asks an additional question: what if the restlessness is not only a neurological pattern, but also a spiritual one? What if your mind jumps not because it can't — but because it doesn't want to? Doesn't want to stay with any given task — but doesn't want to arrive at itself?

ADD is often the signal of a person who is fleeing from their own centre — not out of weakness, but because they sense that a force is waiting there that they don't yet trust themselves with.
