I'd just like to add that a proper diagnosis and proper treatment of ADHD can be life changing and a truly life saving event for the individual born with this disorder. I've read about folks, talked to others and experienced personally how much help we receive through pharmaceuticals to address attentional issues. I get emotional trying to describe just what I mean. If you had known me when I was a child, lost, alone and damned as a small boy with this monster on my back, and the changes RX's have made in my life, you might not recognize me.
To my Harvard grad father, my Radcliffe summa cum laude mother, my admiral in the navy and surgeon grandfather, I was, for the first 20 years of my life "a goddamned son-of-a-bitch kid" who refused to study.
I yearned to learn. I longed to study. I wanted to be a doctor.
