The distinction between basal and phasic levels isn't well advertised.
Ahh, I think I understand. Would you care to give some elaboration on what you mean by "phasic" to ensure we are on the same page?
And for those of us who don't know anything about this.
I've long had attention and focus problems, but never explored the possibility that I have ADHD till recently. I understand that it's a standard term, but I'm still a bit suspicious; Psychiatry doesn't seem like the most reliable field.
Are there good reasons for picking out the behaviors associated with ADHD and giving them a name? Obviously this is a different question than whether ADHD is a 'disorder' or 'disease', and whether ADHD medication is good or bad for people.
Answers that would satisfy me
