The topic of my TEDtalk would be “invisible diseases”. I would address the common misconceptions of these afflictions. I would describe my own experience with them and how I have overcome them. Invisible diseases, mostly mental disorders, are things people live with day to day but you would not know it from just looking at them. These range from depression to anxiety to learning disabilities. The treatment for such afflictions may be therapy or medicine. There are claims that these diseases are made up, either for money reasons (big pharma) or for attention seeking reasons. I have ADHD, meaning I am hyperactive and have a short attention span. This makes learning in the normal school environment very difficult unless I am assisted by medicine.
