Have you considered supplements for your ADD? Essentail Fatty Acids can be really helpful in relieving some conditions.
Fish oils are a good source, as are oils like flax seed, if you are vegetarian.
There was a good article about this in The Independent, a UK newspaper this week, but I think you might have to pay to read it online. The article recommended websites www.fabresearch.org; www.issfal.org.uk and www.healthyandessential.com.
I've never seen any research to back this up, but I wonder if the current explosion in cases of ADHD, dyspraxia and other conditions is due to pregnant women eating unhealthily, or eating little so they don't gain weight in pregnancy. As I understand it, the brain is basically a big ball of fat, so when it is being created in the womb, it needs plenty of good fats.
Interestingly, a friend of mine who struggled with anorexia in her second pregnancy is now struggling, 16 years later, with her second son's mental state, which may be about to be diagnosed as schizophrenia.
Food for thought?
Good luck with your search for personal growth!
