Answer 2

There's a fabulous book by Dr. Frank Lawlis that will answer many of your questions - entitled The ADD Answer. He conjectures that many of the symptoms are created from sleep deprivation and poor nutrition. Since most of us don't sleep enough, and our nutrtition is anything but good, I believe he has some very valid points. Many professionals feel that the diagnosis is only accurate in about 3% of the cases - food for thought!

Answer 3

"According to the most recent version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders2 (DSM-IV-TR), there are three patterns of behavior that indicate ADHD. People with ADHD may show several signs of being consistently inattentive. They may have a pattern of being hyperactive and impulsive far more than others of their age. Or they may show all three types of behavior. This means that there are three subtypes of ADHD recognized by professionals. These are the predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type (that does not show significant inattention); the predominantly inattentive type (that does not show significant hyperactive-impulsive behavior) sometimes called ADD—an outdated term for this entire disorder; and the combined type (that displays both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms)."
