Doctor you know even this three types are old fashion. Now there are what Dr.Amen came up with through SPECT scan and I see it wildly accepted even around the world. Nobody use the rubbish old classification no more. Doctor i perfectly have the Overfocused type of ADHD I am wondering if there is difference between Adderall, Vyvanse and the Concerta in terms of the exact difference in efficacy?? Because ^^

Actually... In my humble opinion, I don't think it's a disorder. Nor do I feel that I am deficient in anything. In truth, it is the WAY I focus that is different to most people. Due to the fact that I can have hyper-focus and make mental links easier than people without this condition, it is often a benefit. It seems more like genetic variation producing people with different strengths and weaknesses that ultimately benefit the human species as a whole.
