How do I convince a doctor I have ADD?!


Question: How do I convince a doctor I have ADD!?
I want to pretend I have ADDfor the simpole fact that I want to get a prescription for Adderall!. My sister has ADD/ADHD and I believe that I have a concentration problem, I really do, I can never concentrate, it's not being lazy or bored- I always try!. I NEED to concentrate, I sometimes zone out when people talk to me, can't read books because I zone out and I can't follow intructions - I have to keep repeating to myself to concentrate,so that I get one little piece of information!. Maybe I have it, I don't know, I don't care if I don't!.!.!.!.but I NEED something to help me concentrate!. My diet is not a problem, I've been making sure I have everything I need!. This isn't a case of not being able to concentrate once in a while, it's every day, every minute!.!.

What are some key things to appear or enhance the symptoms of ADD!? What should I say!? Or shouldn't say!? What kinds of tests would they run!?

Do you think it'd be hard to pull off even if I didn't have it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It's not as cut and dry as showing signs and symptoms honey, you'll need to have a full assessment!. Although it does sound like you have a concentration problem!. You should go to the doctor, and be honest about your problem, they will then treat you as you need, not as you see fit!. After all, taking drugs for a problem you don't have will only make you worse!. I know you don't want ot hear that, but trust me, the doctor will know if you're trying it on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There was no such thing as ADD in My day!. Just sounds like an excuse!. First discovered in America wasn't it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have the symptoms you say, no convincing is needed!. Just go, tell them your problem and you'll be fine and get a diagnosis!. But, go to a psychiatrist with this as a specialty!. Do not get a diagnosis from a general practitioner or internist! It's not their specialty and therefore they are less likely to give you anything!. Adderall may not even be best, perhaps one of the many other medications will be better for you specifically, but the psychiatrist will tell you that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have that problem in school ( i'm 15) I'm in lesson and something will just pop up in my head (such as when I'm in german and i'll start thinking what i'll have 4 t 2night when we are learning past participles) and i'll miss about 10 minutes of the lesson this way!. But I don't have ADD

You can either:
- tell the doctor about all of what happens and how you can't concentrate
or
-just keep changing the convo with the doctor about something out the window (but don't make it obvious)

Otherwise I do not knowWww@Answer-Health@Com
