 What is ADD?
ADD is a diagnosed disorder which affects concentration, attention span and the ability to focus on the task at hand.
Children and adults with ADD (without hyperactivity) often go un helped and undiagnosed. They may be very intelligent people, but because of their concentration and memory problems they perform poorly at school or college and seldom reach their full potential.
Children and adults with ADD are often unfairly called 'stupid', 'dumb', 'lazy' and other hurtful names, when all they need is some help and understanding.
ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity) is usually much easier to identify. Apart from their difficulties with concentration and memory, children and adults with ADHD often have associated behavioral problems in class, at home and in the workplace, due to their impulsive behavior and hyperactivity. (For safe and effective treatment for ADHD, see Focus ADHD Formula.)
They often feel listless and can lack motivation and energy because of their constant struggle to concentrate and focus on their work. Sometimes they can even develop depression, because of their inability to achieve and negative feedback from those around them.
