Common Questions and Answers about Adhd hereditary

Yes, ADHD is Hereditary. However, it is not unusual for only one child in a family to have it. Or to even skip a generation or for neither parents to have it, but an Uncle, etc.
Point, being - your child might or might not have it. However, if your child has it - it does not condemn him/her to going through what you went through. Chances are your parents had no clue what ADHD was and that effected how you were treated.
I have a 3 yr old daughter, she has a big attitude, when told NO she throws a fit, screams, and sometimes will throw things, beat on the door when told to go play in her room, I have a big issues with putting her on timeout she acts out a lot when in timeout, She will jump up and down and whine,She whines instead of using her words. She has a big problem listening when asked to do something, and even at bath time she whines about everything.
t progress into either illness. Because there is a strong hereditary link a person may be predisposed to getting adhd or bipolar, it's a factor but not a guaranteed outcome. ( I hope I understood it correctly)
I'll never know if my children were just unlucky but having both illnesses myself has hopefully given me the best chance of supporting them as they grow.
My husband doesn't have either illness.
I know for a fact that anxiety/panic is hereditary as my dad and brother both have it and were told that most disorders are hereditary...but then again,who knows? We are constantly being pushed and pulled in all directions nowadays. No one can agree on anything.
Dr.A says one thing and Dr.B says the opposite.
My daughters symptoms went away quickly my son need a pretty high dose because his symptoms were more severe. The tricky part in this is the ADHD because the ADHD meds can make OCD symtoms worse! They are stimulants. Try only the seratonin med first. Sometimes ADHD can be solved with only this. You need a good Neuropsychologist here for the Tourettes/ADHD. They are the brain chemical experts. Not a Neurologist. Insist on an MRI w/ your Neurologist though!
Hi my son is 11 yrs old and was diagnosed with adhd when he was 5-6 yrs old. I was told recently the left side of his heart is enlarged. I was told its level 3 and he needs more tests. I was also told to keep him off all stimulants. Im freakin out, is this as serious as it sounds? Does adhd meds like concerta cause this condition ?
Allmymarbles is correct when she says the younger son, "takes his cues for behavior from the older one." But ADHD is hereditary! So both could easily have it. Age is important. Schools are probably not the best source of testing for autism - simply because it is usually diagnosed before the child is in school - thus the schools don't tend to have enough experience. A pediatric psychiatrist is probably your best bet.
Thank you sasa28!!!! Its crap I limit my intake, but have taken tylenol and my kids are fine!
I was first diagnosed with BPD as a kid and took a very tiresome treatment for 8 yrs which did nothing much to help me. Recently another doc daignosed me with ADHD and wants me to undergo treatment. I am really not that optimistic about taking treatment for long long time again. I do have symptoms of ADHD and also of BPD. I really dont know what to do. I am feeling scared a little more depressed than I usually am when I think about my issue. Should I take the treatment?
As far as I know being a a sexual predator is not hereditary (at least compared to something like ADHD). It is usually a learned condition. Since she has never met grandpa, there is no way that she could have been influenced by him.
Does she have problems with other playmates or only her close relatives?
It's hereditary in my family as well. I have a half brother who's bi polar, 2 aunts with schizophrenia, and an aunt and uncle who committed suicide. I have a son with rampant ADHD. It seems that I got off lightly with random bouts of depression. It's all down to brain chemistry as a lot of these conditions revolve around seretonin, dopamine and noradrenaline. For me, after 25 years of suffering, an antidepressant was the answer.
RE: Do I have ADD?
I believe it's imperative to see a psychologist or a psychiatrist to be diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. School teachers are just flat-out unqualifed to diagnose a student based on their layman's observations.
I'm of the opinion of most in the field who believe that this disorder can be hereditary. My mother and father were both ADHD, although they were never diagnosed as such. My mother is a psychologist and my late father was a M.D.
I have some experience with ADHD. My husband, my dad, my 16 year old daughter, my sister, and my close cousin (adult) have it. I could probably write a book full of suggestions (and of course some may apply, some may not - and even some may be wrong.) At this particular moment, I don't have the time to write anything lengthy. If you're interested, I can try to offer ideas that I've found helpful later.
He is also ADHD which is maybe related too. He misinterpretes what I say and then he starts the fights.
Nope ..but chk up wit ur gync to avoid dispointment after trying hard for a baby .
Ok your first question seems to be is BP hereditary - the answer is well inconclusive at this point and to understand why you have to look at what Bipolar is - Traditionally there was a disease called Manic Depression which was a catch all of the 3 mood disorders - Bipolar I, Bipolar II and Cyclothymia - Some decades back the use of the term Manic Depression began to fall out of favour and the sub categories became used - this means that data was not collected in what might be the best manner
