Acronym form: ADD.
A much-debated psychological disorder characterized by a constant need to switch activities and/or hyperactivity.
Contrary to popular belief, ADD is a real disorder, and there are people who actually benefit from ritalin. Unfortunately, a lot of normal people with short attention spans claim to have ADD in order to attract sympathy. A good way to differentiate someone with ADD: people with ADD can't sit still for long even when they're doing something they like, they constantly fidget with their hands (I mean CONSTANTLY), and they don't go around telling everyone they meet that they have ADD.

Otherwise known as IDD, a relatively rare disorder characterized by a notable lack of original, which is to say, innovative, interesting or humorous ideas. Like Rabies, the first symptom of this "disease" is a developing fear in the victim that they may indeed be a sufferer. This leads the sufferer of IDD to develop various tactics and strategies for masking this deficit of metaphysical presence, for example, keeping one's mentor(s) in the closet and isolated from one's social circles so that one's frequent parroting of the mentor's wisdom and witticisms is not detected and can be passed off as one's own. Another common tactic of a sufferer of IDD is the practice of recycling of endearments.
The character Howard Crick played by Will Farrell in the popular film, Stranger than Fiction (2006) provides us with as good an example as any of a person suffering from what might be termed "identity deficit disorder".
What Derrida has effectively accused all thinkers of suffering from when he proved that metaphysical presence is mere illusion.
Tommy frequently recycled the ideas and suggestions of his friends and acquaintances. And in this way at least put up a passable appearance of having a personality to call his own. If Tommy ever did have an idea of his very own no one ever knew it since it'd invariably die on the vine before he could tell anyone.

When one is extremely sluggish and unable to think about anything but coffee. Timing varies, but it is often reported to be particularly intense at 6 am, 9:30 am and 3:30 pm.
Oh man, my Caffeine Deficit Disorder (CDD) is totally kicking in, if I don't get some coffee soon this hole day will be a waste of breath.

any male who consciously or unconsciously deserts his fellow male bretherin in a futile attempt to get some snatch or pussy. This is usually done by an inferior male that believes himself to be of high status.
Male 1: Dude, Frank is such a douchebag!
Male 2: why, did he hit on your bitch or something?
Male 1: Worse, he had major attention deficit vagina and bailed on me and the guys!
Male 2: Did he at least get any?
Male 1: WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK?
Male 2: Wow, Frank is a fucking prick

A writer's inability to properly break large blocks of text into paragraphs, thus causing readers intensely painful eye strain. It's a true disorder.
When Richard started his rant about social anxiety, he wanted to include as many details, knowledgeable ramblings, amusing anecdotes, and examples of his brilliance as possible. To stop this flow of thoughts with punctuation would seem like a stifling act of cruelty, so his indention deficit disorder made him keep the the words flowing, in an endless stream. It was neverending, verbose, random, and yet full of ego and intellect at the same time. It was very hard to follow, and heads exploded as lesser brains try to stay on task and follow the stream of words as they trickled across the page like a black and white pattern of useless letters with no sight of white space anywhere on the page. No breaks, no breathing room...
