How Can AADD Be Treated?
I recently chanced upon an article and quite glaringly found out I suffer from Adult Attention Deficit Disorder. This explained numerous things and fixed the pieces of puzzle down my line as well as my present state. Is there a cure for it? I've lost so many things in life not to mention the miseries caused by it indirectly to my loved ones. Please help

Hi, thanks for asking.
ADHD can only be controlled not cured. Its like diabetes.
There are a range of medications available in the market for ADHD on prescription. I would suggest you see a psychiatrist for a prescription.
Also cognitive behavioural training is very useful to develop organisational skills.
With proper medications and psychotherapy ADHD can be well controlled and quality of life definitely improves.
I hope I have helped you
