What is ADD?<\/strong><\/p>\n

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder<\/a>) is a diagnosed disorder which affects concentration,\u00a0Attention Span<\/a>\u00a0and the ability to\u00a0Focus<\/a>\u00a0on the task at hand.<\/p>\n

ADHD<\/a>\u00a0(Attention Deficit Disorder<\/a>\u00a0with Hyperactivity) is usually much easier to identify. Apart from their difficulties with concentration and memory, children and adults with\u00a0ADHD<\/a>\u00a0often have associated behavioral problems in class, at home and in the workplace, due to their\u00a0Impulsive<\/a>\u00a0behavior and hyperactivity. (For safe and effective treatment for\u00a0ADHD<\/a>, see\u00a0Focus<\/a>\u00a0ADHD<\/a>\u00a0Formula.)<\/p>\n

Children and\u00a0Adults With ADD<\/a>\u00a0(without hyperactivity) often go un helped and undiagnosed. They may be very intelligent people, but because of their concentration and memory problems they perform poorly at school or college and seldom reach their full potential.<\/p>\n

They often feel\u00a0Listless<\/a>\u00a0and can lack motivation and energy because of their constant struggle to\u00a0Concentrate<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Focus<\/a>\u00a0on their work. Sometimes they can even develop\u00a0Depression<\/a>, because of their inability to achieve and negative feedback from those around them.<\/p>\n

Children and\u00a0Adults With ADD<\/a>\u00a0are often unfairly called \u2019stupid\u2019, \u2018dumb\u2019, \u2018lazy\u2019 and other hurtful names, when all they need is some help and understanding.<\/p>\n
