Alex Charfen received diagnoses for Asperger's, ADHD, autism, and bipolar depression. Instead of focusing on what's wrong, he argues you should identify what's right about yourself. Many historically significant people had the same diagnoses.

You know, I very openly share with people. I've been diagnosed with Asperger's, adhd, autism, bipolar depression, manic depression, megalomaniaca. It just depended on what day I went to see somebody, what showed up. And you know the fact is that throughout history anyone who did anything significant today is a 50, 50 chance they get medicated. Right? And so what I want everyone to think about is look if you want to sit down and list all the things that are wrong with you, that is the easiest thing in the world to do. But whatever is happening, whatever diagnosis, whatever disease, whatever you're struggling with, someone has had the same thing, has overcome it and has changed the world. So where the rest of the world says figure out what's wrong with you and change it, I want you to figure out what's right with you and pay attention to only that and understand that there is nothing wrong with you and you are not alone. Yeah.
