“Studies have estimated that 30 percent of people with ADD are depressed, 30 percent have an anxiety disorder, and 50 percent have conduct problems.  This does not make for a happy life.  Those with ADD usually receive a lot of criticism.  It seems that someone is always critical of their behavior and performance.  If it is not a parent, it is a teacher; if it is not a teacher, it is a sibling.  They are even criticized by peers.     As a result, they either withdraw or develop a stand-back I would rather do it myself attitude, which of course generally gets them in more trouble.  A great part of their conduct problems is the constant criticism which produces a lot of anger and hostility.  They get tired of being seen as, or feeling like, “damaged goods,”   and they rebel.  All of these problems, we emphasize, are a result of a dysregulated brain.”  p. 28.  Getting Rid of Ritalin by Robert W.
