Hi, it's been a while since I've been on this echo.  I am married with 
two boys, one with ADHD and one that is just ADD.  Recently, I have 
been to a Dr. who also feels that I am ADD.  I have started on Ritalin, 
along with a mild anti-depressant in the evenings.  My biggest problem 
seems to be those mood swings.  One thing I asked, and was able to get 
little information on was how ADD affects relationships, especially 
between spouses.  Does anyone know of any good material or books on 
this.  I've been told that it does greatly affect relationships, but 
not alot of material is available on it.  I've also read that divorce 
is three times more likely in a family that has ADD or that one spouse 
has ADD.
I have never been hyperactive, nor has my oldest boy, however, the 
other symptoms that we have are at time difficult to deal with, ie., 
depression, moody, inattentive, being a loner.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Lise Maidman
