ADD/ADHD question, please help?!
Question: ADD/ADHD question, please help!?
Soooo, i find myself for a while now having very little ability to concentrate at what i am doing!.!.!. for example, these past two days ive had completely free, and i have a huge exam tomorrow, and i havent studied at all, ive done other things that i didnt need to do (i basically do twenty things before i feel i can actually do what i need to do, and its not necessary)!.!.!. I have WAAAY too many hobbies!.!.!. anyway, i was thinking i might have ADD/ADHD, and i took a quiz online to see if its possible, i scored in the HIGHLY likely section soooo, (in just writting this, ive done 3-4 other things), i was thinking, do the ADD/ADHD medications actually help you do what you need to do, should i do anything!? cuz i kinda dont want to go to a doc and say "i think i have this" cuz i think im just being silly, but idk, let me kno what you thinkWww@Answer-Health@Com

It's hard to determine whether you have ADD/ADHD symptoms just from what you described above!. Many people I know including myself cannot sit down and study without doing 20 other things!. The key issue here is, once you do sit down and study, how long can you study without getting up and doing something else, and can you stop yourself from getting up if you do get up!.
If you do get up and cannot help yourself, then it might be good to look into the possibility of having ADHD!.
Unlike most other diseases affecting mental health, ADHD/ADD symptoms have been shown to be greatly reduced by medications, and counseling combined with medication can eliminate most or all of the symptoms associated with ADHD!.
I've spoken with several people who have at one point or were on Ritalin, or who have family members on Ritalin, and all of them have said it helps their ADHD symptoms!.
Hope that helps!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's quite possible you do suffer from ADHD!. Medication isn't your only option, though!. Look for a Naturopath in your area who you can go to, for other alternatives!. I did the same for my son and, it helped immensely!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
