Coping with A.D.D. / H.D. is not just a matter of treating the child. The parents, brothers & sisters of the A.D.D. / H.D. sufferer, must not be neglected. After all "IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT". After all A.D.D. / H.D. has a Biological basis there is nothing you could have done to prevent it, and nothing you can do to cure it.
While I have said it is not curable it is quite treatable with the right help and resources. A person with a visual disability can wear glases to treat his/her condition and lead as normal a life as the next person. They have not been cured just treated effectively (while they wear the glases they are alright). This analogy should, I hope explain the difference between cure and treatment. Like any other disorder acceptance of the condition, is the first step to treatment.
Initialy the primary concern is with the sufferer, and this
will require professional help, the family can seek support from
their local
support group.
