- My 13-year-old son has just been diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit
- Disorder) -- or as precise as a diagnosis of this can be. The
- next recommended step is to treat him with Ritalin. I'd be very
- interested in anyone's experience with or knowledge about treating
- adolescents with Ritalin (short-term and long-term effects) and
- any insight to ADD and its diagnosis that you might have. It seems
- like the diagnosis is almost a "best-guess" determination.
