I am so mad that I couldn't read the rest of the postings.
I would just like to say in response to this on behalf of everyone like me...
When you have had your life completely turned upside down every day all day because you can't focus..when you have gotten into huge trouble because you can't be non-impulsive...when you have had few real friends who don't thing you are weird...when you have barely grazed through highschool because you were in the principals office most of the time....
THEN and only THEN can you give your opinion on ADD.
Whatever you want to call it, a trait, or a disease, it is debilitating and can destroy people's lives who don't have it under control. Medication is sometimes a lifeline that can save ADD people from the abyss of self-destruction.
Why don't you put yourself in the shoes of someone like me who is 26 and needs Ritalin every day to make it through the hours at work without getting fired? .....and then maybe you could have a serious discussion about ADD.
