9 Frequently Asked Questions About ADD

Did you know that it is estimated that ADD affects 4-5% of the adult population and 5-10% of school-aged children?

ADD is a national health epidemic that continues to grow and even though it is now being diagnosed more frequently than ever, it remains one of the most misunderstood and incorrectly treated illnesses of our day.

Many people with ADD are very intelligent, creative, spontaneous, fun and successful. However, untreated ADD can have alarming consequences and is associated with higher incidences of:

• Academic problems
• Low self-esteem
• Depression
• Job failure
• Incarceration
• Obesity
• Divorce
• Alzheimer’s disease

ADD, like many other conditions, is not just a single and simple disorder; therefore, treatment is not a one-size-fits-all solution. With more than 125,000 brain scans in our database, we have identified 7 types of ADD.

That’s right – 7 different types! And each type requires a different treatment plan because of the diverse brain systems involved. Treating all people with ADD the same invites failure and frustration, and can be a disaster, as the traditional treatments that make 2 of the types better can make the other 5 types worse.
