Does ADHD really exist?

"Is ADD/ADHD invented for doctors to make more money? I feel that ADD may not actually exist? Is it all just perhaps a behavioural concern?" These questions were raised in an e-mail to LADD® yesterday from a man of 30 who goes on to describe his life thus:

A DREAM IS LIKE A RACE – YOU NEVER GIVE UP... you keep fighting until you get there.

We all dream. I was the dreaming champion at school (as all of us ADDers are). But there are different types of dreams. I'm not talking about the airy fairy day dream type dream, I'm talking about a real dream that gets under your skin, hits you in the gut and really takes hold of you, dreams with meaning and purpose to you! Those are the dreams you need to hold onto, to write down and come back to. Don't let them flit away in the ADHD storm inside your head, or is that just me?

Debbie Franckeiss has come up with a great way to introduce people to LADD® and ADHD.
