i am a mother of 2 with ADHD and ADD i know mine have it because test have been done on them to prove they have it, I've had to sit through so many test with my daughter's it isn't funny. they say that hen we where younger it was us being a kid or we where a lit hyper. now studies show that adults that suffer from depression had ADHD or ADD as a child and we have just past it on to our kids... i suffer from depression so i must have pasted it on to my kids not meaning to do it but sometimes u do things o Ur kids and don't mean to. its not Ur fault when u past something like that on to Ur child. u can't help it. it's just in Ur genes to pass it on. like any other illness u can't help passing along to Ur child. if i could go back in time I'd make my mom take me to a doctor and have my self treated for it so my kids ADHD wouldn't be so bad.

ADHD
ADD
OCD
is what my kids suffer from now because of me. i have bipolar, schizophrenia, manic depressive, and depression. so because of me they are now paying the price of me. my oldest daughter's is worst but yougest 1 is catching up quick she is on meds. as needed oldest takes meds.every day and she is up to 40mg of ritalin a day! which i think is a little bit to much ut the doctor won't listen to m says he knows whats best for her, i'm her mom i should know whats best for my child. these specialist now days treat kids as ginua pigs
