Sample Insights: 

1) Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD or ADD, used to be considered a condition found exclusively in boys who disrupt classrooms, make a mess at home, and later grow out of it. Only few doctors knew that it could continue into adulthood and that girls could have it. 

2) Untreated, ADD can be a disaster. About 25 percent of the prison population has undiagnosed ADD. People who have it are eight times more likely to have traffic accidents, 40 percent more likely to get a divorce, and 30 percent more likely to be unemployed.
