okay, so i've been researching around on a lot of sites and i'm getting that add and adhd are the same thing?

In general, i believe physicians use the terms ADD and ADHD synonymously. Most now call it just ADHD, probably because 1) They don't really know the difference themselves 2) that's what TV and the prescription drug companies tell them to call it.

That being said, there are still different sub-types of ADD/ADHD: Inattentive and Hyperactive.

Take a look at this article to get a closer look at the differences:

Hope this helps.
