> FYI RE: the definition for ADHD...it states "formerly known as ADD". Actually that's not correct. ADHD and ADD are two different but related disorders. My sister is diagnosed (dx'ed) with ADD because she does not have the hyperactivity component. I also work at a school for special needs children...we have many students with ADHD (among other things) So ADHD is not a replacement for ADD...it is a more specific dx. Not trying to be a know-it-all...just trying to clarify :)
