Point blank: There are a lot of posts about ADD here. I have ADD.

My case isn't too severe, and I didn't get a diagnosis until I was 12/13 when I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, OCD and depression. Prior to the diagnosis I had good grades and post diagnosis (and no medication) I still have good grades and am able to function without medication.

My coping mechanism is odd though... I have to constantly multitask to get anything done. Even typing this post I'm watching TV and doing a bit of studying. I can't concentrate on one specific task for too long or my mind starts to wander or I'll flat out get up and go do something else. It's a little odd but it works for me. That's what the doctor said anyway. That's not to say I don't struggle... test taking is still difficult for me (finals are a nightmare!) and I have academic accommodations for longer test times.

Just my coping mechanism. Anyone else have success of treating ADD without medication?
