Attention Deficit Disorder, also known as ADD, ADHD and AD/HD, is a very common condition which is becoming better known through education of the public via the Internet and the Media. The "H" in ADHD means hyperactivity and is included in the disorder. According to recent studies, approximately 5% of children and 4.3% of the U.S. adult population, have ADHD. Chances are that in one way or another the average person is affected by ADHD. A person’s co-worker, spouse, grandchild, sibling, employee or anybody else for that matter may have ADHD.
