ADHD: People with adhd can function just fine, if it is something they are interested in. If not interested, then they become bored easily and lose focus. The problem with adhd is how to get them to be interested in the boring things of life. Until then, we rely on medications and other techniques to get through life.

ADDis real disorder: Whether the term is ADD or ADHD, this is a real neurochemical disorder whose chemsitry has been known since the 1970's..It is a treatable condition that requires a combination approach with medication and appropriate educational planning. Unfortunately the term ADHD is overused. If you do not respond to stimulant medications, you do not have ADHD.
