uhm no to all of the above... people with ADD or ADHD are not attention seekers

I'll look into it and get back to you

wlite - I guess what you're talking about is Munchausen Syndrome where a person fakes illness or hurts themselves (makes it look like they are sick) and does it to get attention or Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy where they make their kid or other dependent sick in order to get attention... those are attention seeking disorders... hypochondria is when (to put it simplistically) someone constantly thinks they have some serious illness, they are not doing it for attention...

oh here's something http://www.bullyonli...
