How many of us remember ourselves as children who couldn"t be "straightened out"? The teachers were totally fed up with us. They just gave up on us. We were little children who knew in advance that there was no systematic method to get all the knowledge to penetrate into our brains. Everything always turned out topsy-turvey for us but not for the others.We dreamt our way through the lessons gazing out the window, but were still considered intelligent .It was difficult for us to concentrate and to finish tasks.We disturbed the class out of sheer boredom being unable to sit still on a chair.
ADHD is a frequent and often discussed phenomenon in our age.

My name is Sharona. I"m 28, a student with ADHD, which has accompanied me in different areas of my life, including my studies, leaving me with a heavy load of frustrations. low self-esteem, difficulties making daily plans, a mound of anger that got bigger with every disappointment and more... Does it sound familiar to you? I too reached the point where everything in life seemed to be in chaos, a day to day struggle without solutions. Haunted by the routine, I gave in to the difficulties that accompanied me and at the end, found myself frustrated, unhappy and without any control over my life.
