ADHD
"When I was about 13 the school psychologist who I was seeing for behavior problems suggested to my mother that I start taking Ritalin. I was hyperactive, could not focus, blurted things out, and was generally viewed as a weirdo by my peers. My mother refused to follow the psychologists advice because she &quot;didn&#039;t want me on medicines&quot;. 
The same diagnosis and suggested treatment followed the next year and the year after by the Psychiatrist who I was referred to.
Eventually I dropped out of school, somehow managed to get my GED and enroll in college. I decided a few years ago to see a doctor and he prescribed Concerta.
I am now able to follow through on projects and not feel like a failure, frustrated all the time. It has really worked for me."
