adhd
Your symptoms related to impulsivenss, forgetfulness, organizational problems, and struggles with self-motivation are part of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. A diagnosis of ADHD includes an onset of symptoms prior to age 8, as well as impairment across settings (e.g. home, work, school).
Many primary care providers treat symptoms of ADHD with stimulants or alternatives such as Atomoxetine (Strattera).
My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD can anyone tell me if alcohol triggers angry outburst, impulsive behavior and ADHD symptoms? I use to blame it on the ADHD but I think she may be an alcoholic as well. She gets violent during her drinking bindges and has blackouts while she's awake, stays up for hours giving people around her plain ole hell.
1) lack of attention (inattentiveness); 2) hyperactivity and 3) impulsive behavior. Diagnosis is usually based on very specific symptoms, and you may need to have this checked by your doctor for proper management. Talking to him or regular communication may also help.

I have heard of ADHD symptoms, I heard that it is much more easier to have fights if you have ADHD also ADHD kids act mostly, hyper, either violent(Not all), Overreacting over mainly little things. Sometimes they wonder in there own world. Having Aspergers can be different in many ways, Aspergers is when your child is having emotional problems maybe even getting embarrassed, shy, difficult education maybe even speech problems.
A couple would be hyperactivity and an inability to focus for any length of time. But these traits are not necessarily ADD. Sometimes it just has to do with a developmental stage.
i was really hyperactive, but things have changed. im 19 now and i have al the add symptoms but i do not have hyperactivity, instead i have hypoactivity. is this possible that adhd turned into add. what does this mean?
Hi,
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder, affecting about 3-5% of the world's population under the age of 19.It typically presents itself during childhood, and is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity, as well as forgetfulness, poor impulse control or impulsivity, and distractibility.
It use to be given to children exclusively for hyperactivity and other such symptoms/disorders as ADHD. It is many side-effects and has become a street drug in certain areas of our country. Below is an excerpt from a medical website that I often use.
QUOTE: Ritalin for Adults With ADHD. Ritalin for ADHD treatment in adults has not been adequately studied, meaning that no large studies have been conducted on the benefits and risks of using it to treat adult ADHD.
However, one of the prime symptoms of adhd is acting without thinking (which the correct dose of medication can really help). And, of course, anxiety can cause all kinds of unusual eating habits.
So I think that you need to spend your time researching adhd (I can help with this) and working with your school. Then once you/he have gotten a bit of control over those issues....you can start looking at the other things. I hope this helps.
If Adderral helps, you will definitely know. I have attention and hyperactivity issues...not so many impulse control issues. I could tell on my first dose there was a difference. I didn't constantly bounce my legs, move my feet and fidget. I felt calmer and my concentration was better. I wasn't so adverse to doing tasks I typically wouldn't do because I considered them "boring." These things improved over the first week. Also, my writing improved significantly...

Our child suffers from severe anxiety and her teacher thought that she also suffered from ADD/ADHD. But, when the anxiety was lessened, so too were the symptoms similar to hyperactivity. Often anxiety is co-morbid with depression - sounds as if you found someone who understands anxiety issues.
Honestly no I do not think it is, my oldest shows all the signs of ADHD. My husband and I did not want our 3 y/o to be on daily medication for it so I looked up some alternative treatments. I found out that in some cases vitamins help, so every morning we give him a children's multivitamin. It helps a lot, it takes his hyperactivity down to a regular level for his age.
The increased chemical activity in the brain caused by anxiety or stress can give the appearance of hyperactivity or ADHD/ADD. If anxiety is the cause, your son will be unable to control his behaviours without some tools on how to "manage" his fears. Just another option ...
No single test can lead to a diagnosis of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is best that you see your doctor for proper evaluation and to rule out other possibilities for the symptoms. The criteria for the ADHD diagnosis should be met. Take care and do keep us posted.
t know his symptoms. What kind of a doctor are you seeing? My concern is that the meds he is taking tend to mask the adhd rather then treat it. Have you gotten much info on adhd? There is a lot that can also be done besides just the meds. Hopefully you are also getting this ihfo.
Oh, and if you haven't done so - goggle the meds.
