I'm in my mid-20s and just now have begun digging into my ADD (after both high school AND college troubles). Best of luck to you and your daughter...but congrats for realizing she has ADD at all! You can get through it. When she's a healthy college student with a little acceptance, awareness and a few coping mechanisms up her sleeve...she'll thank you! =) To Joan Keller:

We have tried every medication, but each time she sabotages it for one reason or another. She struggles with rules, organization, focus and relationships. She argues constantly, and is quite defiant. We love her so much and want the best for her, but she will not accept any help or guidance from anyone. Any thoughts? We feel like we have tried everything..... Dear Dr. Hallowell,

I certainly hope all went well. I will pray for you Doctor. I have been having the most difficult time finding quality help with my brain. Either my insurance isn't accepted, or the doctor isn't accepting new patients, or they don't deal with adults, or they are booked until the end of the year, or etc... I truly feel like freaking out!!! I came here to get advice, only to find out that Dr. Hallowell just recently had surgery for his protate cancer. I certainly hope all went well.
