Avatar f tn You can go to your family doctor to ask about these symptoms and to inquire if you might have adult ADD. I went to my family doctor to get diagnosed.
490665 tn?1210334012 was wondering if adult add goes un detected for quite a while, its just i suffer with anxiety and have been told its a side effect of add or adhd, i have always been quite hyperactive as a person and as a young person was very unruly and troublesom and did not quite understand why i was like that and why i was doin things wrong, i always have compulsions to get in trouble and still do, i also suffer with a bad temper but i dont mean to have these outbursts they just happen!!
1858622 tn?1319813203 I do recommend some on line sites which have a lot of useful information since they are aimed at adults by adults with ADD. The two sites aimed at the adult ADD sufferer that you might want to check out are totallyadd.com and http://jeffsaddmind.com/for-first-time-visitors. Both sites are done by people with ADD. totallyadd was actually a PBS special and consequently is a series of short videos. Quite entertaining and useful. Jeffs add mind really reflects him.
Avatar f tn As for differences between bipolar and adult ADD - google has information, personally I believe adult ADD to be up their with childhood *** as about most over diagnosed thing around and do not remotely believe its as prevalent as people say - I have met plenty of adults who claim to be ADD and not one of them truly fits the symptoms and the behaviours but hey they get ritalin and it works so they must be ADD right? * Ritalin works on non ADD and ADD people in most cases...
Avatar m tn Will he start treating you with very high doses of cholesterol lowering agent, potentially increasing your risk of liver failure, for an unclear ultimate benefit, If you would like to have everyone in the US undergo very expensive government reimbursed screening test so that they can then be put on very expensive government reimbursed lifetime medications (to the benefit of the pharmaceutical industry) before we have any proven benefit that the screening test is effective in decreasing death b

Avatar f tn That is why the NIPT is considered a screening not a test. It is NOT diagnostic. An amniocentesis is a true and accurate test of baby's DNA. There are instances of both nuchal translucency scans and Nipt tests showing a high risk of a trisomy or issue and nothing is wrong with the baby. Do your research and weigh options on how to go about after a screening comes back as "positive".

Avatar f tn Ya, its a pretty good chance you have ADD. Here is a great site that lists the symptoms for ADD. You might want to see how you compare. The site is - http://www.help4adhd.org/about/what/WWK8 Its worth finding out if you do have ADD for several reasons. The main one being that even though you have been coping fairly well, you really haven't hit the really hard educational stuff. You must have pretty good intelligence.
707438 tn?1240959640 I know I have ADD as an adult and it can be frustrating. I get distracted easily and what really bugs me is I will get excited about some project but become quickly bored and leave it. So I always have half finished projects. RR is right, though, about the creativity. I guess it has it's good points. I think you learn to compensate a lot as an adult. But yes, adults certainly can have ADD. I don't think you just outgrow it. You learn to deal with it better, that's all.
Avatar f tn I should add I think I've got thrush on my tongue only, although it seems like I have that regularly. Also have an ulcer in the mouth. Had some diarrhea over the last couple of weeks but nothing bad really. Don't feel as though nodes are swollen. How do you know for certain? is it possible to seroconvert this late?
Avatar m tn As stated above TSH is at best a screening tool and that is the only test that really is even remotely relevant. And I personally do not trust TSH as far as I could throw a small adult. As stated above the most relevant tests are the FREE T4 and the FREE T3.
