What Causes Chronic Fatigue When Diagnosed With Attention Deficit Disorder?
Hi, I am asking this question in regard to my 16 year old son. He was diagnosed with ADD many years ago and we have had little or no success with medications. I have told his doctor that I also feel there is an underlying health issue because he suffers from chronic fatigue and is quite pale etc. Everyone focuses on the ADD and ignores my other concerns.
hello, in my opinion maybe your son is having certain other ailment like Iron deficiency Anemia, which can also cause symptoms of fatigue. get a full blood counts test done with your pathology laboratory.
