Maladaptive Daydreaming in a bigger ADHD-like concept

Maladaptive Daydreaming was seen to feature in a developmental disorder called Cognitive Dissociation Syndrome. The best description is from its main researcher, Prof Russell Barkley:

This includes some of these symptoms:

1. I am slow at doing things.
2. My mind feels like it is in a fog.
3. I stare off into space.
4. I feel sleepy or drowsy during the day.
5. I lose my train of thought.
6. I am not very active.
7. I get lost in my own thoughts.
8. I get tired easily.
9. I forget what I was going to say.
10. I feel confused.
11. I am not motivated to do things.
12. I zone out or space out.
13. My mind gets mixed up.
14. My thinking seems slow or slowed down.
15. I daydream.
