"Michael just couldn"t sit still, he couldn"t pay attention. He seemed "jumpy" at school and worst of all, the school nurse humiliated him in front of his friends reminding him to take his pills. His teacher even told his mom he would never succeed at anything because he just couldn"t focus. The danger is that Michael could have believed that his fate was sealed.
Instead, Michael found other options and treatment outside of just the pills and became the Michael we know today. The most decorated Olympian in history: Michael Phelps. Michael did it, and so can you!
The Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) reputation is well known. Often, symptoms are seen in childhood and can continue on into adulthood. ADHD can result in low self-esteem, relationship problems, and even issues at work and school.
Because diagnosis typically requires a licensed professional, it is uncertain how many truly suffer from ADHD. The problems associated with ADHD are not limited to just attention and hyperactivity. ADHD can be evidenced in behavior, such as aggression, excitability, irritability, lack of restraint and repeating words and actions. Unfortunately, ADHD can show up cognitively as absent-mindedness and problems focusing. People suffering with ADHD often have frequent mood swings from anxiety to anger to boredom and excitement in a matter of seconds. This can lead to depression and even learning disabilities.
The good news for all ADHD sufferers is there are fantastic options for treatment.
Medications

Medications range in what they specifically do, from a stimulant (like Methylphenidate [Ritalin]), to cognitive enhancers like Atomoxetine and Antihypertensives like Clonidine.
Support Groups
Other therapies that can be utilized in conjunction with or sometimes separately from medication include support groups (used more with adults or parents of children with ADHD) or anger management classes that practice trigger avoidance, coping mechanisms, and practicing mindfulness."
