 MP> NOEL MERCER was thinking about Hello and keyed into cyberspace:
 
 
 
 NM> MP> Do you have ADHD or is someone you love afflicted with it? Is
 NM> MP> there  anything that people who are knowledgeable in it can help
 NM> MP> you with? 
 
 NM> MP> What is YOUR interest in ADHD?
 
 NM>  You, sir seem to be the person to ask questions of....so....
 NM>  I have ADHD my adopted daughter also has it, a friend of mine
 NM>  has a son with it & is looking for information concerning ADHD &
 NM>  the various treatment possibilities for ADHD.
 NM>  So if you could, please either post here in this echo or, send to
 NM>  me at noel.mercer@krdata.com
 NM>  thank-you in advance
 MP> First off, you should make certain that you have had a proper
 MP> diagnosis.  That is achieved by getting a complete physical, and then
 MP> good  psychological testing. You should then see a psych who is very
 MP> familiar  with ADHD. IF you have ADHD, then treatment consists of
 MP> counseling,  medication, etc. If you are younger, or married, family
 MP> therapy  certainly cannot hurt.
 MP> Medications include the central nervous system stimulants, like 
 MP> methylphenidate or pemoline and anti-depressants, including the tri-
 MP> cyclics and SSRIs. That is something for you to work out with your 
 MP> doctors.
  Sir, I would not have posted my information request unless I wanted
  more information....I am familliar with the various medicines used.
  I was diagnosed in 1967...& have been tested since as well. On my
  pill bottle when I was on medication, was the word benzedrine.
  My daughter is on ritlin after 4 years of testing for ADD/ADHD.
  Please forward any/all information ASAP on this disorder.
   Thank-you
    Noel Mercer
