Family of Adhd

My brother and neice (my sister daughter) are both seeking ADHD disagnoses. While stuck waiting at the side if the road in a broken down car I had both of these suitations on my mind. I saw a video online for women with Adhd. It really hit me and it really sounded like me. Took an online test for women with Adhd. Scored high and wasnt surprised .

I am fearfully and wonderfully made. He saw my uniformed body before anyone of those came to be.

Hello. This revelation may put you on a better path for you. If you do go for an official diagnosis, try to have patience. Not all Dr's or Therapist's are good at making an ADHD diagnosis. After that, if the Dr prescribes you an Rx (usually a stimulant), often its trial and error to find the right Rx for you. You will read many Posts on here are others who have struggled to get their ADHD figured out and under better control. Please realize that I'm not saying this to discourage you. This is just a heads up in case you run in to some road blocks. Never Give Up.

Peace to you.

God bless you. Thank you for the advice. If I have Adhd it will explain so much from my childhood and now. I am a perfectionist who struggles to managed things. My brain is always thinking and I am know as a chatter. I going to talk to my husband and a very good wise christian friend.

I have briefly talked to my brother about it.
