Anybody out there with adult add/adhd ?


I was born as a premature baby with one arm missing from birth . I have always had add/adhd problems since I was a little girl and im now age 40 . I did attend some special schools for dyslexia when I was in elementry school . Years ago add/adhd was called minial brain disfuntion before doctors realy knew what add/adhd was . Today doctors know so much more . Oh boaring subject but I just need some answers. How do I get treated/ meds /support groups when I dont have health insurance ? Im just intrested in other people who have add/adhd and how they all cope .

Thank You : )

Hi my husband is 38 and was diagnosed ADHD about 5 years ago and severley Dyslexic. I am in liverpool, UK, so the process might be different than the US but please email me (and anyone else esp. UK who lives with or is ADHD adult). I do get tired about ADD just being related to children so its good to hear from more adults. Good luck I'm thinking of you.xx grtaylor76@yahoo.co.uk

Welcome to the club!!!!!! You can find your local community mental health, they treat the uninsured on a sliding scale fee, so you may need to pay like $5.00 or so but it may be nothing. They can treat you and give you the meds.

These really help.

i'm still 14.
doctor says i've adhd.
haven't gone back yet to my doctor for further test/checking up.

i don't know, but i'm a, boasting aside, intelligent student.
now, im studying in a school full of smart kids, special science/mathematics curriculum... i'm losing it.
i guess, it's my condition... it's really affecting my grades...
when i review my notes i forgot it in not more than 5 minutes...
this really sucks.
