Excuse the intrusion, but could you explain to me the reasons for going back
three generations? Are you saying that if at least one of my
Great Grandparents weren't diagnosed with a disorder such as ADHD, than I
can't
possibly have it? With the advances in medical technology being as great as
they are, many disorders and diseases which were overlooked just 20 years ago
are now being recognized. I am only 32, and have displayed all the classic
characteristics of ADHD my entire life, yet I was only diagnosed with ADHD 2
years ago. The only reason it was even discovered, was because I was going
through a severe bout of depression, which led me to seek professional help.
