ADD/ADHD is a very popular topic, so finding articles is not very hard. However, it is a little bit harder looking for the specific causes and effects of ADD. Many medicine and health websites offer information about the disorder, but the information is very broad. They usually discuss the signs and symptoms as well as treatment and medication. I was able to a find a few articles that discuss the long term effects of the disorder, the effects it has on one's behavior, other conditions that can coexist with it, and ways to help relieve the symptoms without medication.
I was also able to find a few good books to use for my paper. My mom, having three kids with ADD, bought some books awhile ago that are very educational. One of the books talks about the different ways ADD affects children and adults. It also explains the effect ADD has on couples and family. It shows how people with ADD can use their huge imagination to their advantage. Finding books and articles about ADD is not hard at all, but it is a little harder to find the specific causes and effects that it has on the lives of those who have it.
