This could help with more than just Parkinson's. ADHD, schizophrenia, depression, OCD, restless leg syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome... these are all linked to abnormal dopamine levels.
I'm excited to see how this goes. The article makes it sound like their results have been just barely higher than what they might expect from a placebo, but hopefully that won't be the end of it.
Yea. I have ADHD. Gimme dem dopamine cells. I'm tired of people talking shit because I take a prescribed stimulant.
People say negative things about that? That's crazy, people are judgmental about stupid shit.
Dude, I’ve gotten rejected from jobs because of it. Yes it’s illegal, no it’s often not worth suing if the government decides not to take the case
Don't tell them next time.
I’m not sure why this would ever come up in a job interview, it’s not your employer’s business.
It wouldn't come up in an interview, unless it's a tiny business.
Being ADHD myself, it wouldn't surprise me if the person above made it a topic of conversation themselves. Inability to shut ones mouth is something I am more than familiar with.
It could also be a matter of them disclosing it to get accommodations.
"By the way, I have ADHD, so might need a bit of help here and there" seems entirely reasonable for someone to say in an interview, but might also get them rejected.
Oh it's totally reasonable to bring it up but I still wouldn't do it though.
Rarely have I had a company be upfront about any issues they have so I am more than willing to reciprocate.
You will come up positive on a pre employment drug test though correct?
Depends on the drug. Not all of them do.
