AD/HD

In order to be diagnosed with AD/HD, the symptoms generally occur before the person is seven years old and must last longer than six months. Also, the person must experience these symptoms in at least two environments, like at school, home, work or some other social setting.

AD/HD often runs in families. According to research, if one person in a family has AD/HD, there is a 25% to 35% chance that another family member will also have the disorder.

    I think I have adhd. I can never sit still and usually feel really uncomfortable in school and trying to stay calm gives me anxiety attacks. I get really crazy sometimes. like I get these weird urges to do things and just can’t stop myself from doing them. I can’t sit down and focus on homework no matter how hard I try. I can’t pay attention and usually have to read something a few times to pick up on what I’m supposed to do or learn from it. I forget stuff all the time. I have trouble sleeping because i’m so restless so my hyperactivity goes down some because I’m so exhausted. I’m wondering if those are enough symptoms and reasons to see a doctor about possible adhd to get medicine to help or if it isn’t enough and just a personnality flaw. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:)
