Solange Knowles has recently admitted that she was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder – twice! She said that she didn’t believe the first doctor who told her she had it, and then when she went to see a second doctor, she ended up getting treatment.
Solange said, “I was diagnosed with ADD twice. I didn’t believe the first doctor who told me and I had a whole theory that ADD was just something they invented to make you pay for medicine. But then the second doctor told me I had it. I was in denial. I don’t understand exactly what it is.
She also said that she feels everyone in the music business seems to suffer from the symptoms of ADD. “The symptoms seem to apply to everyone around me in the industry. Loss of memory, starting something and not finishing it.”
Yikes. Well, common symptoms of ADD also include inattention and/or hyperactivity, poor impulse control and being distracted easily. I very much hope most of the music biz isn’t suffering from this. That would certainly be hard to cope with for that particular industry.

WHO CARES
I think it’s good that she’s talking about it. So many times, black people think we can’t be touched by “mental disorders”. I know so many people who call things like ADD or ADHD a “white person’s excuse for their child not being able to focus in school and having too much energy” or other things. The fact that she was in denial about it is another example.
That was my opinion as well, QD. Why hide it? It’s good to see she’s mature enough to admit to the disorder.
And I know what you mean. I’m half black, and the black side of my family is constantly saying those types of things.
Thebusyb – If you don’t care, then leave and don’t waste time writing an immature comment. Simple.
