The syndrome Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) defies a concrete definition. There are no blood tests, brain scans, or psychological tests that definitively diagnose it. Not all Attention Deficit Disorders display the same exact symptoms. There are many combinations of cognitive and behavioral problems that may exist. Symptoms of this syndrome may include: Poor impulse control and internal self-monitoring, attention inconsistencies, chronic procrastination, the need for instant gratification, poor organizational skills, hyperactivity and hypoactivity, poor peer relationships, poor concept of time, and the need for highly stimulating activities.

ADD/ADHD is not an imaginary disorder. It is a chronic developmental disorder which is genetically based. It is not a learning disability, but can co?exist with learning disabilities in approximately 25 to 33 percent of those diagnosed with ADD/ADHD.

There are studies that have found that stimulants are the single most effective way to treat this disorder. Followers of the news know that more and more people are being treated with Ritalin and other stimulants, and the treatment rates are different from one community to the next. People are understandably squeamish about ADD/ADHD and medicating children who are otherwise healthy. When the public deals with issues concerning children, they don’t want to believe that ADD/ADHD is a real problem that requires medication because it is often treated with Ritalin which is a controlled substance. Unfortunately, there is no type of medication that will cure ADD/ADHD. The use of medication to treat it, however, is very controversial.

People seem to be worried that children will abuse the medication or that the drug will make them lethargic which is a major misconception about Ritalin. Ritalin is stimulant which increases brain activity, enabling those with ADD/ADHD to control impulsively, regulate behavior, screen out extraneous stimuli, and increase attention span. This may appear to calm the ADD/ADHD person while over stimulating those who do not have this disorder. Most people who need medication, that is with abnormal brain function, do not abuse it; however, the potential for abuse is always there.

College students cramming for an exam and professionals preparing for a presentation are turning to Ritalin. They obtain Ritalin by telling doctors that they are having problems paying attention. This kind of abuse is dangerous. Ritalin affects a normal brain differently, and it can make you sick. For the person with normal brain function, there are many potential side effects including elevated blood pressure and heart rate, nausea, agitation, headaches, and insomnia.

A person with ADD/ADHD, left undiagnosed and untreated, is at a greater risk of underachievement in the classroom and on the job, substance abuse, poor relationships, lack of self esteem, and problems with the law. While Ritalin is effective in reducing these risks among ADD/ADHD sufferers, it should be used in conjunction with effective parenting and teaching. Parents need help and support, and need to be informed about alternative strategies before medication. However, medication does often work for children with ADD/ADHD.
