I was first diagnosed about 10 years ago. I strongly, STRONGLY recommend that you combine medication with behavioural mod therapy. Due to a lack of funding, I was unable to continue by behaviour mod, and it's been kinda tough ever since. We've seen the symptoms in my daughter; luckily, she's only twelve, and meds combined with my insight in helping her cope are doing wonders. (BTW, I had the added problem of bipolar mixed with the ADD. Wheeeeeee!)
