...aside, I lifted that "mad as hell" line from "Network," a so-called classic that was recommended to me by just about everyone I know and respect: My parents, my co-workers, my friends, the guy at my local video store (obviously not a Blockbuster). So I took the movie home and curled up with some popcorn and the remote. Two hours later, I had a headache from all the yelling. And I was very confused. What was the big deal about this movie?

Now that those girls are women with jobs, children and dinner to worry about, they tell doctors they're overwhelmed. They can't finish what they start. They're incapable of organizing their daily lives. Those are classic ADHD symptoms. They're also the prototypical laments of the modern-day working mother, which sometimes makes it hard for doctors to distinguish the dysfunction from the lifestyle...
