ADHD and tecnical diving

[Andrei]

As you see of the headline, is there anyone who know something about this stuff? I've been wondering if there is someone that has this "decease" that has been certified as a mixed gas diver/technical diver, and if there is any trouble connected to it.. Off course, the degree of this condition is various from person to person, and i know that a person with very serious problems could have some trouble with the high levels of task loading in certain situations, so this question is only related to them that has a very "kind" variation of the diagnosis.. Anyone who know?
If this thread was difficult to understand, just ask, but i hope that I made my point clear..

With Friendly regards Espen

Are you referring to Attention Deficit hyperactivity disorder? Was wondering if you took any medication. I had a problem with ritilin previously.

Hi Espen
In general I would not advise diving with ADHD but as you say people can be affected very differently. Unfortunately most of the drugs used to treat it are not compatible with diving either.
One can not give advice based only on the diagnosis however, as always I would discuss it with your local (or nearest!) diving doctor.
