i try but just cant consentrate my mom says im just lazy but i get distracted easily and cannot remember things for longer that 10 minutes! i always forget work and books and when i dont i just can think about the work. Read this to see if you have the symptoms. I do not think you have that. I feel like that too sometimes.... but it is just a matter of where you go and study or do your work.
The most common symptoms of ADHD are:
* Impulsiveness: acting before thinking of consequences, jumping from one activity to another, disorganization, tendency to interrupt during conversations.
* Hyperactivity: restlessness, often characterized by an inability to sit still, fidgeting, squirminess, climbing on things, restless sleep.
* Inattention: easily distracted, zoning out, not finishing work, difficulty listening.
Some signs of hyperactivity-impulsivity are:
* Feeling restless, often fidgeting with hands or feet, or squirming while seated
* Running, climbing, or leaving a seat in situations where sitting or quiet behavior is expected
* Blurting out answers before hearing the whole question
* Having difficulty waiting in line or taking turns. If you are alive and human you do not have "adhd" as there is no scientific test existing that can prove that there is such a "disorder."
That is because it was actually VOTED into existence at one of the annual (or was that "anal?") psychiatric conventions and then added into their book of tortures called the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual" By doing this they can then prescribe drugs to the victim and get paid off by the drug companies for hooking yet another "USER" onto their drugs with "side"effects such as coma, heart attacks, aggressive behaviour, suicide, death!
Actually the reason you may find it hard to concentrate or remember rests in the fact that when a person goes past a word they do not understand fully in study he will become confused and go "blank." The remedy is to go back in your study and write down all the words you have had trouble understanding and then get a simple dictionary and look them up and find which definition applies and use it in sentences until you fully understand what it means and how to use it.
Oh, the "side-effects" of just one drug they prescribe for adhd are: (and note the point about heart attacks and suicidal thoughts!...that is for "adderall" which is even prescribed to 2 year old!!!!!)
Physical effects
Physical effects of amphetamine can include reduced appetite, increased/distorted sensations, hyperactivity, dilated pupils, flushing, restlessness, dry mouth, erectile dysfunction, headache, tachycardia, increased breathing rate, increased blood pressure, fever, sweating, diarrhea, constipation, blurred vision, impaired speech, dizziness, uncontrollable movements or shaking, insomnia, numbness, palpitations, arrhythmia. In addition, increased awareness of one's body's sensations can cause the user to perceive certain physical effects, such as sudden hot or coldness, a flushed face, or very rapid heart rate. In high doses or chronic use convulsions, dry or itchy skin, acne, pallor can occur.[32][33][34][35]
Occasionally amphetamine use in males can cause an odd and sometimes startling effect to occur in which the penis when flaccid appears to have shrunk. The reason this occurs is because amphetamine is a potent vasoconstrictor or an agent that constricts blood vessels. The rigidiness of the erection and the size of the penis are in part by affected by the amount of blood flow to the penis. When amphetamine constricts the blood vessels enough it reduces blood flow to the penis and then can produce a penis that is slightly smaller and this effect is often coupled along with impotence and erectile dysfunction. Upon erection the penis returns to normal size.[36]
Young adults who abuse amphetamines may be at greater risk of suffering a heart attack. In a study published in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence,[37] researchers examined data from more than 3 million people between 18 and 44 years old hospitalized from 2000 through 2003 in Texas. After controlling for cocaine abuse, alcohol abuse, tobacco use, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, lipid disorders, obesity, congenital defects, and coagulation defects, they found a relationship between a diagnosis of amphetamine abuse and heart attack.[38]
Psychological effects
Psychological effects of amphetamine can include anxiety and/or general nervousness (by increased norepinephrine),[39] euphoria, metacognition, creative or philosophical thinking, perception of increased energy, increased sense of well being, increase of goal-orientated thoughts or organized behavior, repetitive behavior, increased concentration/mental sharpness, increased alertness, feeling of power or superiority, emotional lability, excitability, talkativeness, an increased expression of aggression or paranoia, and occasionally amphetamine psychosis, typically in a high and/or chronic doses.[32] Effects are similar to other phenylethylamine stimulants and cocaine.
Withdrawal effects
Withdrawal from chronic recreational use of amphetamines can include anxiety, depression, agitation, fatigue, excessive sleeping, increased appetite, psychosis and suicidal thoughts. well i have ADD, and those are exactly my symptoms.
Unless you have all those symptoms AND hyperactivness,
then you probably have ADD.
go to your doctors and get tested to know for sure.
I take a pill called "Concerta" every day and it really helps me.
good luck!!!
and your not lazy, its not your fault :] i have that problem. but i do not have adhd. its probably just forgetfullness. try to remember things, have an agenda:) you should go to the doctor..i did in 4th grade and they said that i have it.i almost had to take medication but know im 17 and can pay attention sometimes ha. so just go to the doctor and they will find out sounds like me it might just be that your dont want to remember i had that for a while If you act like Woody Woodpecker had sex with the Speedy Gonzalez and you are the child. You need an evaluation done by a psychologist. Look in the mirror! If your ugggllyy then u have adhd!!
