3453160 tn?1398019442 As to the link with ADHD. Many with ADHD are very lean because they are so active. However, due to jobs or job focus, meds, spontaneity, anxiety, depression, etc. I can certainly see how weight management could be a problem.
Avatar f tn Right now no one knows what causes ADHD, but there is a strong correlation with ADHD and the fathers gene. Look at the fathers side of the family and it will give you an idea.
5757880 tn?1395578022 But the evidence for such individual aggravating circumstances is not strong enough to conclude that they are primary causes of ADHD. A related problem that has some accumulating evidence is sensitivity to food or additives such as colorings and preservatives. Several controlled double-blind studies suggest that these might be important for a minority of children with ADHD, and a couple of controlled studies suggest a small effect on all children whether or not they have ADHD.
Avatar f tn I do not believe in taking anything while pregnant even if the doctor says its safe. I am almost 28 weeks and I cracked my tooth months ago by eating a chip, lately its getting to the point where I'm in sooo much pain its shooting pain from my tooth into my temple. it was on the news that Tylenol causes ADHD when taken while pregnant.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm a 16 year old female and I've been diagnosed with ADHD for 7, going on 8 years. I've taken medication constantly throughout all these years and it's helped considerably. I've seen improvements in school and at home, but mostly in school. But I was wondering if ADHD can lead to other disorders or illnesses like anxiety, OCD, or depression or anything similar to those.
Avatar f tn Make darn sure he's not acting this way out of severe magnesium deficiency, it's all too common, and I believe my ADHD diagnoses was a mistake because of it. It totally causes nervous system issues and light and sound sensitity.
Avatar f tn After living with ADHD for 7 years I told my BFF about it. She began telling it doesn't exist and everyone has it. She asked me if I was in meds I said no. I can't take meds because I'm also bipolar and it causes manic stuff. I didn't tell her about the bipolar. Is ADHD really something everyone has or did she just make that up?
737030 tn?1257659120 I did not have ADHD at the time my FMS began, but may have it now after a couple of blows to the skull. My son does have ADHD. Studies are leaning towards ADHD being in the same category with other neurological illnesses (ie. possibly being set off by an underlying viral/bacterial infection). So in that respect I would imagine one could have FMS and ADHD. ADHD seems to be low priority to researchers because there is no pain involved and it can be treated with medication.
Avatar n tn s advice and what should I do about this I have a severe case of adhd mixed with anxiety and I am a grown adult that needs medication for my adhd for school and work and I get really frustrated that my parents don't let me control my own meds in general they know I don't abbuse it but every time I need my meds I have ask them and it makes my anxiety act up even more cuz I have to call them tell them I need my meds and it's annoying because they r not always their how can I get them t
1725558 tn?1309737496 Is it possible that the ADHD is mimicking mania - possibly but usually manic/hypomanic symptoms last much longer than ADHD moods. I have both. But I deal with the bipolar 2 because that is the main one that causes me issues. The ADD is bothersome but not life threatening.
Avatar m tn There have also been studies done on Omega 3s and ADHD. My son has ADHD and we tried just about every med there was and it never made a significant difference. We decided it wasn't worth the side effects since it wasn't making a difference, particularly in school. I was told by one ADHD doctor that protein makes a big difference. I know try to make sure he eats protein at each meal, especially at breakfast. He also takes a fish oil capsule every morning.
Avatar m tn If you put him on medication for his ADHD then youll probably end up with some side effects. I was on Aderal(sp?) for years and experienced all kinds of problems and complications that the doctors thought was normal. I regret taking medication for my ADHD and I would hope that you would treat your son homiopathically.
Avatar f tn Basically this is physical activity, muscle work, sensory experiences, and deep pressure that provides a calming affect to the nervous system. Many kids with add/adhd have comorbid sensory issues as well as add/adhd can sometimes be confused for sensory because the symptoms can be similar. My son has sensory integration disorder and we've found the 'heavy work' to be essential to his staying calm and foucused and organized.
Avatar n tn what can be done at home to help my 11yr old step son with adhd he is not on any type of meds for this
Avatar f tn Adderall for example is amphetamine and causes hyper activity in most people by stimulating epinephrine, but is calming for ADHD. Ritalin is another stimulant that works on dopamine uptake and causes a hyper effect, again calming to ADHD. My theory is, the benzo is usually an anti anxiety med that is causing anxiety due to the ADHD, like it causes mania in me, opposite effect. The combo he is taking is a similar feeling to pure heroine, so there is the central issue I see.
Avatar n tn I just read a piece on ABC saying that preliminary studies are showing a correlation between Tylenol use during pregnancy and ADHD and anger issues before the age.of 7. I had horrible headaches with this pregnancy and took Tylenol regularly for weeks. This is THE LAST thing I wanted to read on my due date. Blah. Just putting it out there for others.
3588173 tn?1357317184 They have not proven what causes ADHD and autism although there are several theories (genetics are thought to play a bigger role) so I wouldn't worry to much. Steroid shots are very common for preterm labor because babies lungs need to develop faster if there is the chance she'll be born early.
Avatar f tn is it ok to ask for a second opinion. my son is being studied for adhd. teacher has done 3 connors reports but i feel she doesnt know what she is lookin for . he now goes to a new school and we have been since informed that the adhd and blue bay syndrome are linked but some doctors dont like to admit it. please help.
Avatar f tn What are the causes of this? Could this be something like ADHD? My mother told me that my speech therapist said that some of my myelin could be missing because of my ADHD. Could this be true?
Avatar n tn What is it your grandson does that causes his Mom to ground and whip him, could you enlarge on his behavior for us to understand , you say he is sweet so perhaps his Mom is tough on him? what is it he steals and why, have you had a quiet chat wiith him to ask him,that could be a good idea , get his viewpoint and ask how he feels.
Avatar n tn My son is now 13. He was diagnosed with ADHD when he was in 3rd grade. I am a teacher and have done a lot of research on adhd and odd. I think he has ODD. He hates to take his concerta because it makes him lose his appetite I do see a change when on meds. He does ok in school while not on meds but when at home he is a nightmare. He fits all the classic symptoms of ODD. At home he defies everything we ask him to do and he throws fits when he does not get his way. He is very disrespectful also.
