reigen vs the DMSV: an ADHD analysis

Summary:

an analysis i made as homework for my therapist on executive function. that was exactly an hour and 20 mins ago

Notes:

okay, before we start, same disclaimer as in my autistic hunter and DID mob-shigeo analysis. i'm NOT a certified professional, i'm a senior high school student aiming to go into psychology, but i've had a heavy interest (hyperfixation for a while) in clinical psychology for a while now, and while i've tried my best to do as much exhaustive research as i can, i might make mistakes.
- i'm basing this off the DSM-V since it's the material i know best, might add some stuff from the ICD-11 later.
- this takes evidence from both the manga and anime
- i have my doubts about how i interpret some parts? it most likely has to do with the fact i often take things too literally + lack of formal education so if you know i misinterpreted something pls lmk
-credits to thousand-winters for helping too bc i was lacking ideas for some bits
- if you have any suggestions to add, please leave them in the comments!

said that, let's start!

Chapter 1: inattention

Notes:

six or more of these should be present for an ADHD diagnosis

Chapter Text

a. Often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork, at work, or during other activities (e.g., overlooks or misses details, work is inaccurate).
he literally misses several spirits he can see from the first ep

b. Often has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities (e.g., has difficulty remaining focused during lectures, conversations, or lengthy reading).
attention is diverted often

c. Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly (e.g., mind seems elsewhere, even in the absence of any obvious distraction).
mostly seen in s1 to mob, hes listening tho

d. Often does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores, or duties in the workplace (e.g., starts tasks but quickly loses focus and is easily sidetracked).
urban legends arc. literally the dog bath thingy

e. Often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities (e.g., difficulty managing sequential tasks; difficulty keeping materials and belongings in order; messy, disorganized work; has poor time management; fails to meet deadlines).
not sure, any ideas?

f. Often avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort (e.g., schoolwork or homework; for older adolescents and adults, preparing reports, completing forms, reviewing lengthy papers).
insurance stuff in WD ¿? thing is, he’s self employed

g. Often loses things necessary for tasks or activities (e.g., school materials, pencils, books, tools, wallets, keys, papenwork, eyeglasses, mobile telephones).
idk but a common trope in fics

h. Is often easily distracted by extraneous stimuli (for older adolescents and adults, may include unrelated thoughts).
again, urban legends arc, the dog

i. Is often forgetful in daily activities (e.g., doing chores, running errands; for older adolescents and adults, returning calls, paying bills, keeping appointments)
