'If I am just stuck doing nothing, I will go insane'

Article Abstract:

An overview of the problem of attention deficit disorder (ADD) in adults, with particular attention paid to the difficulties faced by university students with the condition. While many young people with ADD fail to reach university because of their learning difficulties, those that do manage to get to university often find a new range of problems as they have to deal with managing other things, such as their finances, along with their education.
