OT: What is ADHD?

My mom is concerned that my 20 yr old brother has ADHD and she was just wondering what it is exactly? Anyone had any experience with this? She says the dr's told her he had it when he was a baby, or 2 dr's thought he had it, I have no idea I was only 9 when he was born so I'm a little foggy on some of the details. My brother David has an appt to be evaluated for it on Dec 13 but he and mom were both curious to know exactly what it is. Thanks for any info Ange

My son has it catch me on yahoo and I can tell ya more. Plus do a google search about it. There is lots of useful info out there about it. I found alot of good info at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital website. They have a library that you can check out.

Ok I'll do that later. Thanks!

Attention Deficit & Hyperactivity Disorder. It is an inability to stay focused, on task and concentration. Some kids have trouble in school staying in their seats, keeping their stuff organized, completing assignments, following directions. In adults, I'm not really sure. I probably have it. My mind jumps around alot and I am always thinking a mile a minute. Like Michelle said, there is tons of stuff on the web. Try google or even WEBMD.com

Hey Mimi, how are u feeling from surgery?

Hey Angie I am doing much better today. My surgery has been GREAT. I feel fine from that. I am hungry and I want something to eat!! I have been battling pain in my chest and back. It is getting better every day. I feel really good! I see the Doctor on Tues for my 2 week appointment and will be moving on to a pureed diet. I am actually looking forward to that. Thanks for asking!!

I bet. Its hard the first few weeks when u can't eat. I was 3 1/2 weeks out when I saw Dr Shina for a check up from my open rny. He told me I could start eating solids then. I stopped and got a grilled chicken breast and Mcdonalds. No bread, just grilled breast. Nothing never tasted so good lol.
