Many people begin with their primary care physician or go through their insurance company to try to get evaluated and/or treated for adult ADD.

Living with adult ADD can be quite a challenge. Not only is it a challenge for the actual person who has ADD but for those around him or her. Much needed understanding and support for adults with ADD has finally begun to surface. But what about the people who have chosen to love, honor and cherish adults with ADD?

Many people assume a child with ADD will run screaming like a wild banshee through the supermarket, school, or any other inappropriate place they happen to be in; however, that is rarely the case.

Typically, there is a lot of blame and frustration associated with Attention Deficit Disorder.

Attention Deficit Disorder, in itself, is not a learning disability. The term "learning disability" typically refers to a perceptual disability, such as an auditory or visual processing disorder, like autism or dyslexia. A person with ADD, however, has no problems perceiving or interpreting information. Therefore, it does not qualify as a learning disability.

Psychologists, schools, and families have come a long way in their collective understanding of attention-deficit disorder over the past decade. Most of us now understand that to think of ADHD as merely a problem with distraction, or excess energy, is to grossly simplify what is a complex neuropsychological syndrome.

Attention Deficit Disorder wears many faces among children. While the hyperactive, rebellious boys are easy to spot, there are also several other types of children that suffer from ADD that go undiagnosed because of their less conspicuous behavior. Girls often fall into this category.

Some girls are referred to as the "tomboy" type. Preferring more physical activities, they often exhibit some of the key characteristics of ADD, without the defiant behavior of their male cou...

A common misconception, when it comes to Attention Deficit Disorder, is that it is one in the same with hyperactivity. However, this is far from the truth. While people with ADD may exhibit signs of hyperactivity, it is not an inherent trait of the disorder and often does not occur with sufferers of ADD.

ADD is often accompanied by a coexisting condition. On the other hand, often ADD and these other conditions have similar symptoms and, therefore, are easily misdiagnosed.
