I just had to reply to this. I was diagnosed with ADD when I was a senior in highschool. I'd had the symptoms all my life. Mainly my problem is that I couldn't make my mind focus on anything I wanted. People who have never had ADD just don't understand that no matter how much will power a person has, an ADD brain does not focus on command. I tried all kinds of brute force myself, and nothing seemed to work.
After I left college I heard about this class called the Silva Mind Control Method. I took it from Janie Dolechek in Oklahoma City. Everything changed for me. I learned how to really focus my mind and now my learning capacity is amazing. I couldn't express to you how much my life completely changed after taking that class. I could write a book about it. It was a four day class and it's sort of like self hypnosis but different.
There are various books on the method, and you can get the classes on tape if you can't find a class in your area, but you should take a class if you can. It was the best investment I have ever made.

There used to be a message board on their page where you could ask questions to graduates and instructors but I can't seem to find it anymore. Bummer
