Do I have ADHD

[teen_anxiety]

Someone asked me the other day if I have ADHD and I have never thought about that but I do get bored easily and struggle to fall asleep because I have such an active mind. I do not know how to tell if I have ADHD for sure or not. I do not take credit for any photos I use I just use photos that I feel fit the vibe of the post.

The only way to really know for sure, is to get an assessment for it by a specialist.

I believe symptoms have to go back to a young age, before 12, but they don't have to be an impairment at that young age. If you have surviving school reports then that could be useful.

If you *now have* some level of impairment from the symptoms, (so life is more difficult), or have suffered impairment in the past, then that helps the case.

If you haven't already done so, you should look at a screening questionnaire for ADHD, and see what kind of score you would get. That could indicate the possibility of ADHD, but as I say, you need a specialist for a diagnosis.

Only your Doctor can diagnose ADHD, the problem is as we get older it is harder to diagnose . Some of the tests are extensive. Ask yourself why you feel this is a problem. Never go towards an outside suggestion. You will just worry and make matters worse. Talk to your Doctor, make a list of your problems and concerns so you do not forget anything.

You could consider looking on the Internet, there are several sites that have

I would say to you that you should go to a professional to find out. Try not to search on the internet because self diagnosis is dangerous. Keep an open mind is your friend a doctor.
