CRACK Babies have a form of ADD that is called
"Racing Brain Syndrome" (RBS). A useful analogy for this mental condition is that of a centrifugal pump that is being over-driven. As the pump speed increases, cavitation sets in and the pump's output decreases. The faster the pump is driven the greater the cavitation until a point is reached where large amounts of energy are being input but nothing is being output. Without medication there is a sensation that thoughts flash through the brain too fast to "think" them.

they do need tutors but they also need a treatment program that works and it isn't Ritalin.... because that makes the condition even worse.

Do you know what the best treatment is? you'd be surprised.
