Getting a formal diagnosis can help put a name to a condition. It will allow you to learn about the condition and understand it’s implications for you – both short term and long term. Self-diagnosis is dangerous, especially with a condition like this that has some characteristics that are common to other disorders.

For instance, did you know that if you take a person and chronically deprive them of sleep they will begin to function in a way that clinically looks like they have ADD?

The doctor who helped put together this WEBsite wants paitents that are comfortable with the medications using them to facilitate changes to their lives. Once we develop better routines and habits, you can try life off of medications and see if things are improved to the point you can live without meds.

I feel that ruling out medication before even looking at the potential benefits is ignorant. It has changed many people’s lives.
