adhd symptoms of

Your best bet is to try and find a peds doctor that specializes in ADD/ADHD. If she is found to have ADHD, so of the things she does might not go away, like the stealing. For me the last straw was when my daughter vandalized the neighbors boat, he wouldn't call the cops, so I did....she has stolen or vandalized a thing since. The only way I can describe my child with ADHD is like Pinocchio without the Jimmy Cricket (the little cricket telling him not to do bad things).

A while back i was told i had adhd. i was going over in my head of all the symptoms i have. i was wonerding about these posssible symptoms ,are these adhd or not? 1. when i read i seem to read but it just go through my head and usally i got to reread a few times to remeber it. adhd or not? 2.when i go out and play pool i usally just take my shot right away not aiming for a long time if i try to aim my shoots get worse i try to see the shot but cant.adhd or not?

The biggest complaints of people with ADHD are a lack of concentration, and the inability to sit still-fidgeting.

If you were diagnosed with ADHD then it is no surprise that you are noticing symptoms of a similar nature-- nervousness, mood swings, compulsiveness, obsessiveness, etc. I want to clarify that ADHD cannot technically be "diagnosed" because it is not an illness or medical issue any more than anxiety is. Both are better defined as tendencies or habits in attempt to control things that you feel you cannot. ADHD can most certainly be controlled or "let go" without medication.

s of thoughts in an ADHD persons head.Just saying-there are alot of things than people think are ADHD and are wrong....

Does he have other OCD symptoms? My niece, and two of my kids have this and ADHD. It is believed to be a seratonin issue (brain chemical) and often hereditary. He should be put on one of the seratonin meds to relieve these symtoms. These are anxiety meds like Zoloft. 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.

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.

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.

1. In children, many symptoms overlap and are common among a great number of diagnoses (including Bipolar, SID, ADHD, normal development, non-verbal learning disability, and so on). 2. Is it possible that they are recommending these diagnoses as part of their "differential diagnosis" (aka - trying to figure out just what is going on)? As a therapist, and parent first, I would be quite cautious about how to take this news.

I don't know much about Risperdal. It's not typically used to tread ADD/ADHD. I'm pretty sure it's not FDA approved for ADHD. It may have been prescribed to treat some behavioral problems, which may or may not have been caused by ADHD. It's classified as an anti-psychotic and is a tranquilizer. If your nephew's only diagnosis is ADHD I'm shocked that this drug was used at all. I urge you to get the opinion of a different psychiatrist.

Parenting with consistent discipline and support can help prevent over-diagnosis of ADHD in children. Sometimes, people think their child is ADHD when the child is still very young, under 5, and shows some symptoms. The problem with that is young children are still developing at very different rates and maturity levels vary greatly.

well' no and yes which is very confusing as a child never notice anything like this' never stole anything or lie about anything ' that remeber ' didnt seem to a have problem at school " the only problem started at nine years ago when his torurettes began he would just start spiting on everything the tables's' the floors ' the mirrors just sptiing all the time ' then twitching begin & the' 'noises which was hard for him he had very little control b

She may have neither - but this is a pretty complete list of symptoms. It will take two posts due to their length. I do want to stress that if you go over to the child behavior forum and look for "out of control 4 year old", you will see numerous posts - and normally, I would say that is what the problem is. All the other stuff I am sending you may not even apply - but the past history of her dad does cause concern.

I'm not an expert on wellbutrin dosage, but it does sound high -- every med should be gone on somewhat slowly just to see how a person will react. The reason it's not recommended for people who suffer from anxiety, generally, not universally, is that it's very stumulating, which a depressed person benefits from, particular the neurotransmitter norepinephrine.

ve been feeling naucious , and when I wake up in the morning I get light headed . The smell of some things make me sick , im only 16 . Need to remind you that I stopped taking my AdHd meds . I'm also on birth control . What can this be??

Having trouble sleeping, impulsiveness, losing things, lack of organization, not remembering things - are all pretty classical signs of ADHD. Of course, the whole relationship with the parents thing if caused by you constantly getting into trouble (and negative attention in elementary school), is also a sign of ADHD. If you want to gather more info, two sites aimed at the adult ADD sufferer that you might want to check out are totallyadd.com and http://jeffsaddmind.

I used to take ADHD medication to manage my condition beginning when I was about 13 years old. I am now 23. I continued this for about 5 or 6 years, and then gradually came down off of my medications. I had been put on a number of different medications at different times to see which medication worked best for me, and we finally settled on taking Concerta, and did this so for about 3 or 4 years.

You have received good information and some contradictory recommendations. the medication your daughter is taking is a stimulant and a stimulant can increase anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms are the child's way of trying to cope with the added load of anxiety. I suggest that you try to see a child psychiatrist to help you sort out the best course of action.

For example, it may take, say, 40mg of Dexedrine a day to successfully treat symptoms of ADHD in a particular 25 year old male who is 185cm tall and weighs 85kg, Though another male of exactly the same age, height and weight may well find that 40mg of the Dexedrine is wholly inadequate and that his adhd symptoms do not. respond to anything less than 80mg (or even more perhaps) a day of the same drug.

s as if there are some symptoms of add, so again, for a 3 year old toddler is there a possibility of her having add?

However, care must be taken to diagnose the condition thoroughly, not simply on the basis of the presence of a collection of symptoms. While the presence of the requisite symptoms is necessary, a thorough diagnosis considers other aspects of current functioning, along with family history and consideration of alternative plausible explanations for the child's symptoms.

Sounds like it could just be a run of the mill teenager on drugs. All of his symptoms could stem from his drug use. Take him to the doctor if he is on ADHD meds...good luck.
