ADD
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a condition characterized by a short or poor attention span and inappropriate, impulsive behavior. Attention Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is ADD with hyperactivity. These disorders usually affect school-aged children, yet many continue into adulthood. Symptoms include fidgeting, excessive talking, disregard of consequences, and an inability to concentrate. Psychostimulant drugs are often used to control ADD or ADHD, yet natural remedies help as well.
