Avatar m tn This is a forum for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I think you might want to try another forum. However, I do know that growth hormone is given to children who have a severe growth problem. Whether your son's growth problem is severe enough, I don't know. I am also not sure at what age the treatments are started. I assume that since you gave his measurements in centimeters you are European.
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. Ritalin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Avatar f tn I agree, I would have your pediatrician assess him for ADHD, but I would also consider Sensory Disintegration Disorder. This behavior is not so different from a child who has suffered a trauma or loss (been hurt, loss in the family, parents separated).
429700 tn?1308007823 Hi Deb, Is the problem ADD (attention deficit (with out) hyperactivity disorder) or CAPD ( central auditory processing disorder) the reason behind the question is that sx can seemingly overlap, though there is a distinct difference but ADD and ADHD is more widely known.
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 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.
1472248 tn?1292611095 From the symptoms described this looks to be attention deficit hyperactivity disorder rather than anything related to the previous episode of rolandic seizure. ADHD usually presents in early school years. The child can be either primarily inattentive, impulsive, hyperactive or emotionally unstable. The child often doesn’t seem to listen, is easily distracted, cant sit still and is fidgety, has angry outbursts, social loner, becomes very sensitive to criticism.

The principal drug used for this purpose is methylphenidate, commonly known as "Ritalin.
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 f tn I take Lexapro, I was also Diagnosed with GAD, and I was diagnosed with ADD, Attention Deficit Disorder, Lexapro dosnt really have any side effects, but one thing I notice, is that my anxiety seems to no longer be a extreme issue, except during high levels of drama and such. It does make me drowsy, and for me, works 24/7 I dont really notice the side effects for me, only one I can really feel is the drowsy/tired feeling, it makes me want to go to bed.. But this is just me.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder – sometimes referred to as Attention Deficit Disorder – is as widespread as the refined foods and the food additives that play such a major role in causing ADD / ADHD. Once you have read the information below you will realise that Ritalin and other ADD / ADHD medications achieve nothing more than the suppression of symptoms.

Avatar n tn ADHD. Some, not all, people with attention deficit can be habitual liars. Quite apart from medical conditions, though, lying can also be a strictly psychological problem. Either way, professional help may be required. All the best!
Avatar f tn Dr. Melanie Bee has a webpage on treating ADHD/ADD. One of the things she discusses is chiropractic adjustments. They GREATLY help the nervous system so messages get through correctly, and there is less fidgeting. This sounds very good to me. I also came across another website that says: "Using emotional release techniques, I have recovered from the pattern of behaviors called Attention Deficit Disorder.

Avatar f tn absence seizure and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, may be outgrown by the time the child reaches puberty to early adulthood. For now, medications should control the symptoms and psychosocial support can tame the manifestations of adhd as well. Regards and God bless...
Avatar n tn You get this high from fantasizing usually over things you would not want people to know about. For example, I often imagine someone I love dying and people pitying me-- or it may even by me dying. It can be a fantasy of great control and violence-- brutally killing someone even. It can be a fantasy of rescuing someone, being someone else, being famous, sexuality, or something else desired.
