adhd
I am wanting so answers regarding ADD in adults. What are the major symptoms? Does it get more severe with age?
My Focus in high school was very difficult. I could not focus in class at all. It is strange because I was voted the outstanding athlete of the year in my graduating high school class. Today many years later i am full of fear when it comes to learning..................
But, I guess you should feel kind of good knowing that enough (successful) adults also have ADD that they have taken the time to put together very professional sites to help those with ADD. I think that the best site for you to check out is totally.add. I think that you will like the visual approach. Jeff's add mind is kind of complex. I wish somebody had a site for people of your age, cause its really needed!
Your questions are good ones. Totallyadd.com will answer them.

9,20 In both short and longer-term studies, there were low drop-out rates secondary to abnormal cardiovascular parameters and 90th percentile for age) or clinical symptoms referable to cardiovascular symptoms (eg, chest discomfort, syncope, palpitations). Studies of adults reflect those of children and adolescents, although, not surprisingly, higher rates of hypertension have been observed28,29 because blood pressure naturally increases with age.
Certainly you exhibit some of the symptoms of ADD. You are also of an age that did not focus on girls in public schools who had ADD. All the attention tended to go to those hyper little boys. So its entirely possible that you were overlooked, specially if you had the intelligence to "get by".

Its for adults with ADHD, but a lot of it applies. Take a while to go through it.
Is it truly difficult to diagnose adult ADHD or adult ADD? How can i get diagnosed given no money to pay a doctor?
i am concerned, but my therapist says i should not self-diagnosis. however, i have no other way to diagnose since i cannot afford it. my therapist can only provide support for depression.
Hi, I'm not sure about ADD in adults who have not been diagnosed at an earlier age, however this is something you could "google" and research. I would also mention this to your Dr. and see what he/she thinks. As far as the not sleeping at night, ok you said you were diagnosed with insomnia and anxiety? Was this diagnosed from a Dr ? If so then i would say that your tiredness through the day would be partly due to the lack of sleep your getting at night and anxiety.
Two other ideas.
One is that with her intelligence she gets bored fairly quickly and the words in her head is simply the way she is dealing with the boredom. And she may get so involved in daydreaming or finds the work so boring that she just isn't finishing it. If she is reading on the 5th grade level, there is no way that, "words bother her and call her stupid." But she may be missing out on the instructions?
The other is, of course, the possibility of ADD.
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...
My boyfriend just recently came out and told me that he does struggle from time to time with ADD. He is studying in University a PHD in Microbiology, he only has 2 years left of his scholarship. And admitted that he struggles at times to concentrate on his studies and from time to time takes ritalin. He told me that he dosent take it regularly, he only takes it when he needs to he said.
I'm a 22 year old student going to a university. I've been formally diagnosed with OCD and depression. Ever since I got to school, I've been experiencing symptoms that I just assumed was OCD-related, but hearing some friends with ADD talking about their experiences has got me wondering.
When it comes to writing a paper or studying for a test, man, I have a lot of trouble doing it.
Oh...I should add....
Im 42 yo male. No other health concerns. No symptoms. Avid runner. See my PCP every 6 months for check ups. No meds. BP 120/75. All labs good.
I have suffered from ADD symptoms as a result of my drug and alcohol use a decade ago. I have been on many ADD and anti depressant meds but all to no avail except with Wellbutrin XR and somewhat with Concerta. The Wellbutrin worked amazingly well a long time ago but stopped shortly after I took a small sip of hard liquor. My doctors are perplexed by this but that is the only explanation I can come up with.
Is there any way to add MS symptoms that aren't on your list? For example, one of my worst ones is itching, so I'd like to add it.
Thanks!
