What way does A.D.H.D. effect adults,does it effect girls in a different way.Is there any treatment for adults

Answer 1

affects each person different sex doesn't matter there is lots of info on the web use educational and national institutes of health or state and local mental health web sites for info.
there is both therapy/ support groups and drug treatments.
you or whoever may need or choose one or all.
there are studies say if do certain retrain the brain and have boring and scheduled constant days at least 8 hours sleep and same bedtime all week and weekends if you can. all this can rewire brain and perm no more add or adhd. most people wont do so rigorous a program.
same moderation and boring routine are turns out the not so simple keys to do better. any exercises to help with comprehension and concentration even reading and writing and playing solitaire with real cards helps. TV and computer and Internet have not been shown as having positive effects. last i read..
check with the most current research including on clinic trials below.

Answer 2

There are a few things you can do before trying medication if you wish, but they will make your life more complicated while you get started. The first is to remove all foods with additives from his diet. There was a recent study that actually showed a causal link between food dyes and ADD. There are websites, I'm sure, that will give you good advice on how to start that, but I'm not sure where they are. Try a good search engine for that. The other thing, less restrictive, is try cutting sugar and caffiene from his diet. My daughter is ADD and can't have sugar unless she's going to go run it off somewhere. But she's always done okay in school, and in fact I had to get her re-evaluated in the third grade because her teachers didn't believe me because she wasn't a school problem. Caffiene, on the other hand, tended to calm her down. My nephew was the opposite. Sugar didn't affect him but caffiene sent him climbing the walls. So my advice, try diet and get him a lot of exercise every day. However, if that doesn't work, medication is still an option that has really helped a lot of children and adults.
