    • Close ADHD / ADD

      I have two daughters ages 7 and 8 and they are both diagnosed ADHD. My 8 year old is also diagnosed as VERY strong-willed. They were both diagnosed after Kindergarden age 5. It has been a HUGE battle as a single mother, but I have recently re-married and there are ups and downs. Their dad lives in another state so I get no support from him. I need mental support from other parents going through the same issues with their kids.

      Treatments

      Adderall Not Working
      Concerta Somewhat Helpful
