Common Questions and Answers about Adhd symptoms list
adhd
I was wondering if any of any other parents out there have kids with ADHD who also exhibit tourette's-like symptoms or have been diagnosed with tourette's? My son is almost 6 and we're quite sure he has ADHD (although he's still on the waiting list for the behavioral specialist).. he's very hyperactive, fidgetty, doesn't complete a task the 1st time you ask him, and his having a lot of trouble behaviorly in school ...
I would check out this link. It covers both ADD and ADHD. Read the symptoms for both of the links in green at the top of the page by clicking on them. The site is - http://www.help4adhd.org/en/about/what
If it feels possible that you have one or the other, then the next thing is to find a doctor. The link also has on the right side ways to do this. If you are enrolled in a college I could also talk with either your counselor or the medical staff.
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!
Well, you certainly do exhibit a lot of the symptoms. And your reaction to coffee also fits. It is important to know what is going on because there is a lot that can be done to help you if it is a form of ADHD. It is also pretty common for people with undiagnosed ADHD to start getting frustrated with school work or to be getting depressed or have ever increasing anxiety. If any of that is going on with you, it is even more important to get diagnosed.
my 5 year old son is diagnosed with ADHD, disruptive behavior and a mood disorder, and possibly depression and anxiety. he has been prescribed ritalin, medidate, depakote, and zoloft. all together. That seems to be alot of medication for a small young child. Im very worried for him, is this safe for him?

Thank you for your input. We are on a waiting list to see a specialist. Unfortunately, it's a very long list. The school is also concerned, but we have not been able to speed things up. I don't recall hearing of a child this age doing this. She is an emotional 12 year old. Perhaps this has to do with our moving out of province away from family. It's the only other thing I can think of, as she did not always chew on wood. If so, I 'm not sure how to help her.
Many of his symptoms also suggest being ADHD. Below I have pasted a list of differences between bipolar and ADHD. They were sent to me by a fellow member and were written by Dr. Popper.
The one thought I definitely had from your brief description is that he needs professional help - and fast! Don't go to your pediatrician (except maybe for a referral), seek out a pediatric psychiatrist. Best wishes!!
I am a 19 year old who has had a long list of odd symptoms for as long as I can remember. I have never really thought about ADD/ADHD however as I didn't realize some of the issues were associated with the disorder.
I would like to get peoples thoughts as to whether or not this list of symptoms seems to fit the bill for ADHD, or if perhaps it is something else. I clearly plan to see a doctor soon but would still like to gather as much information and ideas as possible.
When I signed up, the opening page said that there would be a tracker for ADHD. While I find the mood tracker helpful, I'd like to see one specifically for ADHD!
m of the opinion (based on the literature about how health care providers make errors) that diagnosing a person with a neurological disorder like ADHD should be done with both a thorough diagnostic interview and some objective data collection. The symptoms of ADHD can occur for many reasons, and ADHD in adults is highly likely to co-occur with anxiety and depression.
We had another post just a few days ago that also let her daughter drink coffee. Interesting.
To zoelyka, I highly recommending trying something called 'heavy work' to help with symptoms of add/adhd. You can google sensory processing disorder and heavy work to get a full list of ideas. Basically this is physical activity, muscle work, sensory experiences, and deep pressure that provides a calming affect to the nervous system.
Hi. My son is 10 years old with severe adhd. He has been on meds since he was 5. Recently we have had to change his meds for the first time in 5 yrs.(nightmare) I hadn't really thought about it til now but am really interested in some natural remedies for this. Even some over the counter meds would be fine. Does anyone have something they do for their child that works well?
Your son may well display ADHD, but it is important to arrange a thorough evaluation and not rush too quickly to the diagnosis. The on-line surveys can be useful tools to see if a person might display symptoms typical of ADHD, but a thorough assessment will consider a child's medical history, family history, current functioning at home and in school, possible alternative explanations for the symptoms identified on the surveys, etc.
In short, adhd symptoms. There was a reason why you started Vyvanse, and as you are now stopping it...those reasons are coming back.
If you have not done so....you need to read up on Ankylosis Sponilytis. It is a condition that will slowly get worse. And I am not sure that a muscle relaxer is recommended treatment. See - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ankylosing-spondylitis/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20354813 . And a muscle relaxer is certainly only short term treatment.
I did some research on some stuff that has been going on with me since I was a child and I strongly think I could be add/adhd. I know that I am no doctor and cannot diagnose myself but every time I bring up testing me for this my psychiatrist just kind of shrugs it off saying that it could be something else and while I do respect that she is more educated in this than me I also do not see the harm in a test.
