ADHD/ADD, what is it? And how do you treat it?

Posted by pretty_paints on December 20, 2004, at 12:13:28

Hello guys,

I am being very very lazy I know, but I was hoping someone on here could fill me in on some information, so that I didn't have to plod my way through the world wide web :)

I don't know anything about this/these disorders. I don't suffer from them or know anyone that does, but am just interested really.

Does anyone here suffer with either ADHD or ADD? What are the symptoms, and more importantly, what does it feel like to have either of these disorders? What is the general treatment? Do you take AD's or something else? And how do these help?

Thanks a lot for anyone who can give any info!!

Cheers :)

Hi,

I might agree here ;)

ADD stands for Attention Deficit Disorder
ADHD the same but Hyperactivity added.

This is the info i can give you, good luck.

I knew that, but thank you anyway!!

The main thing I'm trying to find out is: Ritalin seems to be a drug used for ADD/ADHD. And this is a stimulating drug (maybe a stimulant or a stimulating AD, I don't know). But how does stimulating someone with ADD/ADHD help? Is the problem that they don't have enough stimuli? Kinda like the opposite of psychosis? Any thoughts?
