Avatar n tn It sounds a bit like me when I was younger. I had a difficult time paying attention in places that things and people weren't as familiar. This created a novelty that pulled my attention away from what I needed it for. He probably is paying attention but to too many things. At that point for me I gravitated towards the easier things to do because I ran out of brain energy to continue doing the more complicated tasks. That still happens to me and I'm 44 and on Ritalin.

Avatar f tn Has your daughter ever had any attention deficit or hyperactive problems? Does she have any problems in school?

Avatar f tn He has attention deficit disorder and learning disabilities. He is now 28 and his whole life has been a major struggle for all of us. Special education classes did not help much at all and I was in there pleading with them all the time. He ended up dropping out of high school because he was failing and school was so miserable for him. He has a hard time keeping a job and has all kinds of issues like depression. He also has asthma because of the effects of the smoke on his lungs in the womb.
Avatar n tn We took him to a child psychiatrist recommended by his pediatrician and it turned out that he had ADD. Not ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder), just ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) He was put on medication, once daily and his life changed completely. He could concentrate, focus, his grades went up, his mood changed AND the homework was being turned in - daily! Even the teacher called us on the phone and asked what in the world was going on. haha.
Avatar f tn Ritalin is used to treat attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and narcolepsy (an uncontrollable desire to sleep). When given for attention deficit disorder, Ritalin should be an integral part of a total treatment program that includes psychological, educational, and social measures.

Avatar n tn ADHD means Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, It is actually quite common. Bsically means his attention is difficult to get, and keep. His mind cant stay still, constantly jumping from one thought to the next. Concentration will be a little more effert throughout most of school. Then there is the hyperactivity part.(For me this was the most difficult, and affected me the most). Now not only the mind cant stand still nether can the little guy.
Avatar m tn Well, your daughter’s symptoms may be related to Valparin, but there is a great possibility that she suffers from attention deficit disorder or dyslexia or have disorder of written expressions etc. A complete neuro-psychological evaluation is necessary for confirmed diagnosis. Please ask her specialist regarding these possibilities and get a complete evaluation done. If no problem is found in her attention and learning capabilities then may be the symptoms are side effects of Valparin.
Avatar m tn Certain people live into adulthood with thinking troubles that are later diagnosed as learning disabilities or attention deficit disorder (ADD). Many people think of this as a childhood disorder but it can start in childhood and not be diagnosed into adulthood. Lastly, there is a condition called chronic fatigue syndrome that may be diagnosed after other causes are evaluated. There are several potentially treatable causes to your symptoms.

Avatar n tn I don’t think that her stubborn nature is linked with any neurological disorder here since it could be a normal phenomenon of an ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder) child who reacts quite differently in such situation due to poor attention span. Your daughter with ADHD may have attention difficulty, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Therefore, by attention deficit she does not listen to what is said to her.
Avatar f tn Although it seems like your child exhibits characteristic symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, he might not have a genuine attentional problem but rather acts in this manner because academic tasks are very challenging for him. Observe whether he shows similar traits when engaged in other activities that are mildly challenging for him. If these symptoms are present across activities and settings you need to get a professional evaluation of his attention/ concentration skills.
