SAD, ADHD, Depression, and German Accent?

Why the heck do I have Social Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and a German accent when NO ONE else in my family does?

No, I'm not adopted (I think....) but why!?

Hey,

Not being a scientist is any of those specific areas, I'm afraid I can't necessarily tell you, however:
Accent is more picked up where you learn the language, although it can change after prolonges communication with those with a different accent.
Other things you mentioned are not entirely controlled by genetics, etc (many hypothesise do exist).
I think that it would probably be helpful for you if you accepted yourself more, though; all the things you mention are part of you, and everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. Love yourself for who you are, clichéd as it might sound. :)

I can't really help you with some of the other things even though I have depression (I'd love to help with this one, but I unfortunately can not think of how).

I do have an idea on the accent part though. I'm completely American... (Irish American blood if you wanna be specific) but I have been told I have an Irish accent by lots of people (and have been made fun of for it by others). Not sure if I'm ever being Punk'd about this but anyways... I think it's just the fact on how you speak and where you pick it up and the type of people you hang out with.
