...to explain their bad behavior or behavior that is perceived as bad.
Among many examples I could give, here is one: "Oh, I am violent and hit people and scream at the top of my lungs because I have anger problems".
Maybe you do that because that is what is [b]easy[/b] and you don't want to take responsibility for your own actions and try to fix your problem because that takes effort. Having anger problems is no excuse for bad behavior. It is just a cop out.
Scientists hate this because they want to know the reasons behind everything. But ur brain is complicated and is no slave to any genetic coding. Only brainwashing.

It is irritating how many people use disorders as an excuse. Like Naughty Child Syndrome. Unfortunately people find it hard to distinguish between genuine ADD/ADHD and being a little sod. Better to just stick 'em on Ritalin and let them pay the price later. As far as I see it, a disorder might mitigate your behaviour but it doesn't excuse it.
