MTBD are minor injuries to the brain that cause similar problems for those with AD/HD. MTBD can show up as slow speech or slow cautious, movements. May or may not cause a problem with one’s intelligence.
• Hoarding Issues
Hoarding can be the result of AD/HD where someone does not understand why things have to be put away in order to prevent clutter. OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) is an emotional medical condition and is treated with medications and psychotherapy. If the person with OCD is not being treated it is very difficult for them to let go of any item in their possession, resulting in extreme hoarding conditions. |
