Hello!

This seems like a very educated and informed group.I have only joined

very recently but have been reading all the posts which come to me in

the form of a digest.

I have a question and was wondering if anyone either had an answer or

could point me in the correct direction.

I have a friend who is very bright, left brain oriented but who has

recently failed times two a major exam that will determine her

career.In observing her I have noticed an inability to sit still (up

and down during chess games , but wins each time), flicking between

two-three television stations at the same time and cannot focus long

enough to study.Although I know she desires to pass this exam it is

clear to me that she cannot focus.She has also expressed restlessness

at night , having a hard time sleeping and feels like she wants

to " pull her legs and arms off " . (anxiety??)I think she may be an

undiagnosed Add adult or may be she has some sort of anxiety

disorder? I could be really wrong about this.She seems to have a hard

time with swallowing anything and is adverse to taking vitamins etc

We are both against the pharmeceutical approach to issues.

Would anyone have any ideas on what the issues are and what the ideal

approach would be? I feel that a good multiviatmin, coupled with

increase niacin, Vit.B etc would be ideal.

BTW.. She is in her late twenties and has been in the USA since age

of 12 yrs. Upon her arrival to the USA she has developed all sorts of

allergies and blows her nose throughout the day.

The biggest issue that is happening right now is her inability to sit

still and focus which is interferring with her ability to

successfully negotiate this exam.

Any and all help would be appreciated.Thank you so much in advance.
