Connection

Is There A Connection Between Childhood Add, And Adult Chronic Fatigue?

as a child and into adolescents, I was very hyper, with attention problems, unfortunately I was never diagnosed for add. But now as an adult, I have no energy, I cant get anything done, and still seem to have some attention problems. Are they related? Can this be treated with medications?


I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and I have never heard a connection with childhood ADD. ADD people tend to get calmer and more functional as they get older, largely due to experience, practice, and maturity.
CFS is often associated with a precipitating illness, injury, or traumatic experience.
You could have both, of course.
