Nicely put, 7even. That does leave me with one question: how curable is Bundy's condition? Will he be forever dependant on medicines to turn his chemical balance into something that makes life enjoyable, or could there be a point where his brain catches up and 'learns' to do this independantly? That's really the question for me: are we talking about a disorder through a lack of development of certain brain sections, or are these brain sections symply not capable of functioning properly at all? It's an interesting point, knowing that most development disorders are highly influenced by controllable properties.
It's not even just an analogy. The brain is just another part of your body. I don't seperate "mind" from "brain".

Personally I think his condition can be improved, but he will always have the potential to dive back into it... To use a more visible example again, like a endomorphic person (people who naturally put on weight faster/easier than average) who is over-weight can lose a significant amount of weight... but that person still has a much higher potential to become over-weight easily than an ectomorphic person , since the person will still be endomorphic, due to the genes, no matter the weight the person currently has achieved. By that I mean that the fundament of the condition will always exist, but if he is lucky he can deal with this condition much better than in the past, that is definitely a possibilty.
I highly doubt disorders such as ADD, SAD, ADHD, etc. are from "underdeveloped" brains.

Yes, genes do play an important part, because they are what initially set up the body and caused its weaknesses. The rest is all external, and that explains why the number of kids with some of these development disorders is rising at such an excessive rate: kids grow up in less interactive environments; they watch tv instead of playing with other kids. Just that is enough to affect the early development of the brain in such a bad way that these disorders have become rather common. I'm not familiar with SAD, but I know ADD/ADHD and autism are like that.

ADD is a made up "condition" for defiant kids or kids who are considered disobedient and pay less attention. ADHD also, for kids who are defiant/hyperactive. It's a bunch of BS, they can literally class ANYONE under ADD or ADHD without knowing shit. Humans grow out of these conditions NATURALLY all the time, it's a proven fact. And LOL@comparing ADD to Autism.
NIK stfu already, this is coming from a person who says if you suffer from depression or social anxiety you dont need medication. And if you do take medication hes pretty much insinuating you're a weak person if you do take them. But yet this is the same cat that said he cant get through or cope with his day if he doesnt smoke weed. *waits for the why dont you find that post you stupid jerkface* so Im going to cover my bases here and let you know I have to be somewhere at 8. And I wont be home untill 11 then which I have to work out. And then go to sleep b/c I have this thing in the mourning called a job. So I dont have time to search for post like your worthless self medicating ass does.
