Has anyone out there been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder for the first time as an adult?

marc asked:


I’m 44 years old and I was recently diagnosed with ADD and I began medication immediately. The results were miraculous. I would be very interested in hearing about other people’s similar first hand experiences. I believe there are a lot of adults who suffer from this disorder.

      Yes I just recently discovered that I have all the criteria for ADHD. ADHD is a group of mental and personality traits that everyone has. It is how you manage those traits that determine if you are successful. Many people are not given the tools to develop their ADHD traits into something positive hence drugs are used instead of teaching self control and focus.

      An interesting book that you will find useful in whichever method you use to embrace your ADHD is: ADHD a Different Way of Thinking by Lynn Weiss. she lives it daily…she has ADHD too.

      Stay positive with all you face. There’s a lot of information out there coming from all sorts of “pros” you will find the best road for you.
