I am interested to see if there has been documented links established
between Attention Deficit Disorder, Epilepsy & Sleep Apnea.

In addition I am interested in seeing if there were any studies or
papers on adults who exhibited symptoms of ADD in childhood that went
untreated until adulthood, and how those individuals faired after
treatment.

Request for Question Clarification by librariankt-ga on 30 Oct 2004 21:02 PDT

Hi there -

I've found some studies in MEDLINE that link sleep apnea to either ADD
or epilepsy, but they don't link all three.  To clarify, are you
looking for something tying all three together?

Also, there are many studies looking at adult ADD/ADHD and therapy - I
am not sure what precisely you are looking for.  Would abstracts on
the more recent articles meet your need here?

Just as an FYI, you really have two questions here.  In general it is
better to ask multiple questions individually from each other - we
researchers will only answer a request if we can answer it fully.  In
this case it means someone will only answer if they can find materials
for both the ADD-epilepsy-sleep apnea question (the harder one,
really) AND the adult ADD one.  Thus, your chances of getting one or
both questions answered would be upped if you submitted them
separately (for less $ each, of course).  Just a lil' tip from your
friendly librarian...
