    ADD is definately not a ‘made-up’ disease. I had ADD as a child that has now manifested into adult ADD. I, however, have never taken drugs for the problem. In middle and high school, I figured out I could pay attention and stay on task in class by taking notes on 3/4 of the page of paper and writing other notes or drawing pictures on the other 1/4. It gave me an outlet to distract myself for a few seconds and yet stay connected to what was going on. I still do that today in college. Something I’ve found that helps now is to give myself breaks throughout the day. It breaks having to focus on one thing lets my brain go off on any wild tangent it wants for a while before I make myself focus again.
