She is not diagnosed nor seem to have with any mental illness.

Then there's Distractible Speech - during mid-speech, the subject is changed in response to a stimulus, e.g. "Then I left for SF and moved to ... where did you get that tie?" My other housemate who is now a retired special ED teacher is guilty of this on numerous occasions but he has ADHD and not a mental illness. I have to say it's very frustrating talking to him sometimes when I'm really serious about something.

For me, although I don't have ADHD I get distractible speech when manic.

Just so you know, there are variables to diagnostic labels and what is considered a true mental disorder/illness and what shouldn't be misconstrued as such.
i do know that
i was merely picking the ones that the pdoc says i have problems with.

also when i got my hospital records the pdoc also wrote that i have disorganizd speech a long with multiple symptoms seen in Sz.
which you know obviously like i said he diagnosed me with paranoid sz
