adhd

Avatar m tn Well, daydreaming or inability to concentrate is certainly one sign of ADD or ADHD. It might be worth your time to check out the following link and if it seems possible that you have ADD, you talk with your own doctor or college counselor. It is very possible that a small amount of medication at the right time could make a big difference for you. Here is the link - http://www.help4adhd.
Avatar n tn 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!
Avatar n tn My question is: is there any correlation between adhd and absence seizures...can adhd be mistaken for absence seizures?
Avatar m tn i have done extensive research on this and havent found anything that matches, i do not have adhd or add. i have however found a few others that are facing this same predicament. all of us do not know what this is.
Avatar f tn Wow, this describes how I was in school exactly. I would try so hard to pay attention, and I could for awhile and then I would be daydreaming again. I made A's and was not a behavior problem at all. It is really hard to keep interested when you can't pay attention. I was a very well behaved kid until I was a teenager. It was just too hard to pay attention in school so when I was a teen, I just kind of gave up trying. I was finally diagnosed ADHD when I was an adult.
473760 tn?1215219977 I have this problem, and I was honestly just wondering if any of you out there have the same issue. Sometimes during the day (any time of day) out of nowhere I start daydreaming. I day dream about all kinds of things...and I mean ALL kinds of things. Regardless, when I get into this state I find it very hard to get myself out.
918457 tn?1244645682 Ok, don't follow the multi-tasking comment....I've been dianosed twice with ADHD at two different hospitals. I can multi-task better than anyone i know. The more thats going on, the better i work. It's the focusing on one particular thing thats a problem. Other small "symptoms" of ADHD that I know of that I do: cant listen to the same song or watch the same show for longer than a minute before turning it.
Avatar n tn When thinking about adult ADHD, keep in mind that it has to be a condition that has been with you since childhood (if the symptoms have come on suddenly, then it is not likely to be ADHD), and a general rule of thumb is that adults with ADHD have symptoms significant enough to interfere with their being able to achieve in accordance to their intellectual potential. Your situation is frustrating and confusing I am sure, but the symptoms you describe may not be ADHD.
Avatar f tn I'm a fourteen year old girl, and ever since o can remember, I've n bed been good at concentrating. Even with small tasks, like getting dressed, I often get distracted and end up doing something completely different, without even finishing dressing. I find it impossible to concentrate on anything I find boring. No matter how hard I try, I just can't get my brain to focus on it. I usually just end up thinking more about focusing than actually focus ing and end up daydreaming.
Avatar m tn Honestly, I don't really know a lot about OCD. I did notice, though, that some of your symptoms are similar to symptoms my sister has. She has been diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger's (form of autism). I really think you should find someone who can listen to you and find a diagnosis that will hopefully make more sense to your situation. Once that can get accomplished, they will be able to help you manage these symptoms better.
492869 tn?1285018933 good/bad behavior, excessive daydreaming, hyperfocusing, perseveration, hyperactivity, sensory seeking behavior (rocking, banging, jumping, flapping, spinning, etc.), low concentration, low motivation, social awkwardness, communication difficulty, sensory overload, anxiety, irritation, stress, excitement, sound sensitivity, etc. The tracker might also be useful as a checklist for people with executive dysfunction.
362203 tn?1248810310 It proven that several of ADD symptoms are similiar to manic symptoms of Bipolar Disorder. That is why SO MANY people go undiagnosed when they have ADD. I am not saying this is the case for you but that it's very important to see a GOOD psychiatrist before you decide to take medication. How do you know whether or not a psychiatrist is good? They will spend as much time with you as you need in order to assess the symptoms.
Avatar n tn depression, ADHD (inattentive), OCD. MD is so far considered a result of trauma and is considered dissociative. I think this is probably true since most people will admit to have had some sort of trauma like childhood physical or sexual abuse. It is described as an addiction and I personally can relate. You get this high from fantasizing usually over things you would not want people to know about.
Avatar n tn We are trying to avoid going to a Clinical psychologist who will tell us he is FREAKING ADHD (every child is diagnosed with this if he dares to get bored in Maths!) But at the end of the day we want whats best for him. His marks are ridiculous (87% English, Sciences in the 90’s!) His teachers all say obviously the academic side is not a problem. So if it is emotional, then surely keeping him down a year will be worse for his concentration level. He has done Grade 4 (and has the certificates!

Avatar f tn I went to the psyc to sort out my headaches and binge eating and guess what? Here I am ADHD inattentive (the lethargic daydreaming type without hyperactivity). I tried Ritalin but got a rash and chest pain so I am on Dex now and feeling grat so far. Good luck. I hope this gets sorted out for you.
Avatar n tn I have seen several studies that show kids with lack of sleep show ADHD symptoms. Since she does like to read so much. Make sure she is not reading well into the night and thus losing sleep. Best wishes.
Avatar f tn I was always in with the slow learners for reading, had poor penmanship, was always daydreaming, and was kinda clumsey. And my ADD is considered mild. Poor social skills is a classic ADD symptom too. To this day people still make fun of me (in a good way) for taking what others say too literally/seriously. I don't know about the being alone thing. Could be because he gets bored by himself. That's torturous for an ADD sufferer.
Avatar m tn Focusing and impulse control issues are symptoms of ADHD. You may need to have your son evaluated by his pediatrician to determine if this or any other disorder is at stake. Disciplining your son for these behaviors to teach him self control is always a good idea. However, if these behaviors are occurring as a direct result of a disorder, then the discipline could backfire. which is yet another reason to have him evaluated ASAP.
Avatar n tn Yes, it does depend on what kind of a doctor made the decision he didn't have ADHD or ADD.. If it was just a pediatrician, I would seek out a pediatric psychologist or psychiatrist who specializes in ADD/ADHD just to rule that out. He certainly exhibits some of the signs of ADD. Have the teacher take a look at his math test. Did he miss simple problems at the end of the test? Were his mistakes just careless mistakes? Was he missing the whole concept? He is young for his age group.
Avatar m tn Thanks for the advice, I could try talking to my parents but my parents don't really take anything I say seriously, I'll have a serious talk with them.
Avatar m tn Sounds like brain fog/cognitive dysfunction. I like to call is space cadet syndrome lol. I spaced out randomly due to vitamin B12 deficiency. I had a sky high online score diagnosing my "ADD/ADHD" however my symptoms were from vitamin B12 deficiency. A couple of websites that list various reasons for brain fog include BRAIN FOG by Lawrence Wilson, MD, and from the Brain Harmony Centre: Brain fog - modern epidemic?

Avatar f tn so I just wanted to know if anyone else has any symptoms like mine. so I have almost completely gotten rid of the physical symptoms of anxiety but it seems the more those go away the crazier my thoughts get. I've been having terrible thoughts about my family, I'm so afraid that I'm going to wake up and be someone different and do somthing terrible. plus I haven't been dreaming terrible situations but more "spacing off" and thinking horrible things.
952564 tn?1268368647 Hi there...sorry to hear about your frustration. While I am nothing close to a dr-have you considered ADHD? I know I've shared symptoms similiar to those like you're describing. I was diagnosed w/ADD/ADHD and put on meds specific to that disorder. What an immediate difference they made! Talk to your doc...good luck, friend!
