My husband has a very hyper nature and he seems to act impulsively.  I always thought that he was just high strung, but we recently found out that he suffers from adult ADD.  The number of cases that document add in adults is rising dramatically.  It seems that this condition was not prevalent in adults until recently.  This is disturbing and I often wonder why that it.  I think that maybe it has always been there but not recognized.  This makes a lot of sense and I am glad that my husband is getting along better and now he feels that he knows and understands his diagnosis.
