As a matter a fact, I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid and I do believe you when you say that you do have ADHD.
I do not know if you understood from my writing that I do believe there is ADHD or at least I agree with the symptoms but I honestly think that there is an inflation – overuse of the label. I am convinced many ADHD diagnosed kids are nothing but kids that are not regular but there is nothing wrong with them.

And no, I do not agree it is a mental illness, it is probably a chemical malfunction in the body – nothing more than that!

Over thinking is typical behaviour of people that I call "digital" people – and many of them will be diagnosed with many diseases that are far, far away from being right.
In truth – we never find the reason, we never have. We play a guessing game using only the symptoms as a guide. Some treatments work for some, some not – this is # 1 rule in special education – nothing is a 100%. We are so individuals in our mind, body and spirit and this is how it should be.
I do not like the term disability either. People diagnosed with ADHD are talented, smart people who do think differently. But no one ever said differently is bad. I teach all my clients that being yourself is the only person you can be – even if it is different.
I agree that people need to understand themselves this is what my life purpose is – to help people understand themselves.
Sorry to tell you, you had bad luck. Going to 40 doctors was not the answer. Lucky people get to the right person early and do not have a problem at all.
I worked with thousands of kids and families around the world. The earlier they come, the easier it is to solve the problem. My purpose on those years was to find it as early as possible and make sure no kid will go to school with a problem. Believe it or not, challenges can be detected so early and can be changed so easily in an early age that in school no one will ever guess there was ever a problem.
I am happy you found Ron Davis – I am a fan of Ron Davis and his approach.

In the next month I will publish 3 articles about ADHD – I hope you will find many practical tips to help families with handling ADHD.

Thank you for reading the post and writing a comment from your heart.
Happy day

Do you have AD/HD??

I do, and its not a Myth at all. Sometimes it feels alot like a mental illness. I am 30 years old.
Its not the inability to focus, and concentrate, its actually the opposite, its too much information going around in our heads and our hearts. Its more like all the info causes a form of disorientation and we're actually thinking about too many things at one time. May I quote a man named Ron Davies "Once we know the true nature of a problem, you can devise a strategy to address each individual components one by one.
Once you Eliminate all components, you have effectively eliminated the problem.
By getting rid of the DISORIENTATION, you remove most symptoms and tendencies of Learning disabilities, Dyslexia and ADHD. I really don't like to say Disabilty, people with ADHD and learning problems just have a "different way of Thinking" and they just need to find the right way, the clear way, for them to learn and to be. They actually have a special gift, and with the right information, awareness of whats happening to them and understanding of whats happening to them they will have a greater quality of life and then they can be the very best person they were born to be, because then they are in control and ADHD is not in control of them.
Parents and care givers of children with problems also need awareness and knowledge about how it actually feels and what is actually happening inside their bodies, their minds and their hearts and with that information will come understanding, patience and love.
Have you ever lived with a boy with ADHD? I have he has distroyed my families life, they can be very hard to love. 40 doctors we went to, no-one could help us, over 28 years. No-one really had a solution and thats what we need a solution, I have been searching for the last 12 years for the right information and I found it. Ron Davies the author of the gift of Dyslexia and the gift of learning has a solution. He understands us inside and out. And its amazing easy and it works, it has changed my families life and is changing my daughters school and the lives of many children at her school.
We don't really want people telling us this is crap and that is crap, we WANT HELP!!!!!!!
ADHD is alot more than the symptoms you described, there are reasons for those symptoms, which are not like a "normal" person. During times of severe, disorientation for long periods of time, this is when many ADHD people feel lost confused and crazy and end their own lives, or turn to drugs and alcohol to numb the disorientation and to have a rest from the crazyness and madness that consumes their hearts and their minds and their spirits.

ADD ADHD whatever it is called, who cares what its called, lets help those that are suffering and struggling and families that are in a state of hopelessness, parents that are trying desperatly to help their children to break them free of this torment and mental burdens of ADHD.

There are much research connecting vaccinations to ADD or ADHD.
Generaly there is much research connceting ADHD to food, chmicals and medication.
I agree.
Happy day
