I think this is another case of the psychiatric industry assigning a 'condition' to something which could be better described as a 'symptom' of a lack of will to focus & control our lives. Another prime example being the so called 'disruptive mood dysregulation disorder', which is essentially a means to label children who throw a temper tantrum & throw drugs at them as a solution, as an alternative to actually parenting. OK...let's make a more all encompassing 'condition' instead. I'll call it 'laz-i-ness'. There, I have this condition, so it's no longer my responsibility to take control of my life. Isn't that better? ;)

After browsing through the N4G comments section, I just came to a horrifying conclusion...there has been an outbreak of 'sanity' here in TechSpy Land. I've done some population sample tests & it hasn't spread to the rest of the internet yet, there's still hope for them. But we need to quarantine ourselves to prevent a full outbreak ;)

study abroad is the chance to find yourself while acquiring a comprehension of an alternate culture. Being in another spot without help from anyone else can overpower on occasion.
