Does any one know the differences between the two? I have a 5 yr old that was diagnosed with ADHD and the pills are making him act more high then anything. He is only on 10mg and I was told by another mom at soccer practice a little about ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). She said that one of her kids has it but didn’t say much about it.

Is there anyway of getting rid of ADD and ADHD naturally without medication? I have a huge exam coming up in the next few months and I really need to focus. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I watch a little boy who has ADHD and homework is always a chore. He cries and makes up non stop excuses. I have to bribe him to do it and even that doesn’t work all the time. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips that have worked on kids. Thanks!
