Children with ADD tend to have problems:
1. paying attention in class,
2. getting easily distracted.
3. problems reading or completing simple tasks.
4. ADD also contributes to hyperactivity in children,
5. causing difficulty being quiet or staying seated.
ADD symptoms in adults can be more complicated.
1. tendency toward being easily distracted,
2. adults often suffer from depression which can
3. lead to low self-esteem,
4. workplace problems, and
5. difficulty with relationships.
6. substance abuse or anger issues.
Now tell me that describes 3-5% of the children or 3-5% of the adults!!!!!
Probably describes 85% of the U.S. children and adults to one degree or another.
