ADD: What Is Dopamine and What About ADHD?
by Tellman Knudson
An article in Scientific Daily, dated August 8, 2007, suggests that a lack of dopamine in the brain may be related to attention deficit. Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that controls attention, motor activity, learning, motivation and reward, mood, sleep, and milk production. This study found that low levels of dopamine may actually be one cause for ADHD. Though the study no doubt extends to ADD sufferers, as well, the test was done with ADHD subjects alone. . . . keep reading

ADD: Do You Know Your Brain?
by Tellman Knudson
We know that ADD is a neurobiological condition, so isn't it important that you learn more about your brain? Not in what causes attention deficit, because nobody really knows for sure. Some scientists blame a shortage of certain brain chemicals. Others say it's because one of our lobes is smaller. But whatever the cause, that doesn't mean we have a deficiency in any way. I mean, we're really amazing. We are multi-taskers, think at the speed of sound, and we're more often than not, very smart. Plus, we can hyperfocus on topics and learn them very, very well, which can be positive. . . . keep reading

ADD: Is It or Isn't It? How The Modern Age Has Labelled Everything As Problems!
by Tellman Knudson
The trend in today's American society is to blame everything on ADD or ADHD. Kids who have behavior problems aren't always ADHD. Adults who can't keep jobs don't necessarily have attention deficit, either. And people who can't sit still may have restless leg syndrome or something else that has absolutely nothing to do with hyperactivity in general. So, how do you tell the difference? . . . keep reading

Adult ADD: It Never Goes Away
by Tellman Knudson
No one considered that attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) might follow a child right into adulthood until the 1980s. Because ADD kids learned to cope with their symptoms, no one noticed that they had become adult with attention deficit. Just because you haven't been diagnosed, that doesn't mean you aren't bothered by it. . . . keep reading

Risk Factors for Addictions...ADD/ADHD?
by Pam Regland
Sadly, many people--it is estimated in one recent report in the LA Times as many as 50%--who go off Ritalin turn to some type of drug. That was the case with my sister, who had severe ADHD as a child, and stopped taking Ritalin in Jr. High. The old thinking used to be you were "cured" of ADD/ADHD at that time. (And, sitting here as an ADHD adult myself, I know that's not so!) Unfortunately, my sister turned to drugs. Crystal Meth addiction was her drug of choice for 12 years. . . . keep reading

Hyperactivity vs ADD - What's The Difference?
by Sarah K. Jenkins
A common misconception, when it comes to Attention Deficit Disorder, is that it is one in the same with hyperactivity. However, this is far from the truth.

"Tellman and Stephanie encouaged the budding entrepaneur and showed some ways that ADD people are great for it because they are not stuck in the mud they constantly see new ways to do new things!"
Kris Koenig
"The information I have received has helped me to get focused and stay focused I have been able to complete projects and be a better listener."
"I'm fairly new to the program, but so far my whole outlook on life has changed. With my new knowledge from Stephanie and Tellman I have been able to release a lifetime of painful shame, almost instantly. That was such a big relief, it felt like an anvil had been lifted off me. Years and years of mentally beating myself, needlessly, has also been released. I now feel open to
acquiring new "programs" for my brain. I am so excited about being a part of this and I am looking forward to more, major, personal change in the days ahead. I can't thank you guys enough for the freedoms and life changing events I have experienced thus far. Keep up the great work!
Diane Cote'
"To Tellman and Steph, Thanks for gathering all these great resources together in one place. Being a 46 year old
single custodial parent grad student with ADD/ADHD combined form and my two kids of 4 and 6 are ADD/ADHD
combined form as well which makes for an interesting house at times let me tell you. It gets pretty stressful around here at times.
By having all the info in one place I am able to get to it an hour here an hour there without having to search for it which would just get me sidetracked and onto something else. Believe me that very thing has made it hard to get my thesis finished. Some of the info here I am starting to see the results of just here in the house so far with keeping all three of us on track a bit better.
It is also good to see that it is possible for me to make it as an entrepenuer. Not only for myself but for my kids as well. Thanks,
Kevin Newman
