Are we in for another Depression?

Some of us would probably vaguely remember our history teachers mention the 1929 economic slump, The Great Depression. Lately we have been hearing about the goverment takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Bank of America taking over Merill Lynch, bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the approx 62% plunge in AIG's share price. Investors are in panic and reacting by pulling out their investments. AIA had more than 2000 of their policies terminated. How much more is the market gonna fall and how many more financial giants are going to join the line? Are we heading for another Great Depression? Some banks are advising their investors to stay disciplined and avoid following the herd. Its no fun looking at my investments dipping and my heart sinking together with them. Lets wait & see wat happens!

ADHD

ADHD is a neurobiological disorder that creates a deflection in moral behaviour. Worldwide 5.27% of children and adolescents and 4% of adults are diagnosed with ADHD. The ratio of male to female children and adolescents diagnosed is 3:1 and in adults is 1:1.

The brain capacity of an ADHD child is much smaller than a normal child. Genetics, Envionment and Brain structure are some of the factors that causes ADHD. Persistance, Pervasion and Impairement are factors used to judge if a child has possible ADHD. if a child displays 6 to 9 distruptive behaviours, over a period of 6 mths, in more than 1 location, then he should be considered for a diagnose.

According to my lecturer (She's American), majority of the investors in Wall Street & Bay Street in Canada are diagnosed with ADHD.
