An underactive thyroid or overactive thyroid can have symptoms like inattentiveness, poor memory or sleepiness, also symptoms of ADHD.

NOPE! ADHD is a fake condition made-up by a drug company! The drug company had developed a new drug; yet could not find any honest use for it! Nope. So they made up this Fake condition! And pay lots of extra $$$$ to anyone that is willing to false label people with it!

Even if one looked up what these four letters mean, those conditions do Not have those symptoms of thyroid problems! When a thyroid goes down the person becomes weak!

Pray to GOD about this!

ADHD should only be diagnosed by a professional. Frank Barnhill, M.D., author of Mistaken for ADHD, listed nearly 50 conditions in his book that can be mistaken for ADHD. Dr. Barnhill said irritability, hyperactivity, poor memory and bad grades are classic ADHD symptoms, but they can be also symptoms of sleep apnea, thyroid disorders, food allergies, seizures and learning disabilities. ADHD diagnoses are rising at nearly 3% per year according to the Centers For Disease Control, which could mean as many as 9 million kids with ADHD in 2010.
