Those of us who live with ADD on a daily basis know there's something different that goes on in our brains between the times we can focus and the times we just simply cannot. It is so much more than a battle of will or desire, as some people think. I can actually at times hyperfocus for hours on end, accomplishing things with momentum and interest. At other times, it is nearly impossible. I understand why stimulant drugs such as Ritalin and Adderall help ADD patients and affect them differently than they affect the general population. But it would be wonderful if there were a natural supplement that could help us just as much as the chemical one.
