As awareness of the symptoms of ADHD in adults, in general, and women, in particular, increases, more and more people are seeking diagnosis and treatment. One recent study suggests that ADHD ...
Although Weikard mainly described a single disorder of attention resembling the combined presentation of ADHD, Crichton postulates an additional attention disorder, described as a "morbid diminution of its power or energy", and further explores possible "corporeal" and "mental" causes for the disorder (including "irregularities in diet ...
