Can you develop ADD?
NOADD is a condition that one is born with and one will have for the rest of his or her life. But sometimes the ADD is not recognized until later in life. Also, as someone with ADD grows up and matures, he has to develop coping methods for dealing with the disorder and functioning normally in a non-ADD society. This can cause the illusion that ADD is a condition that can develop and that can be 'grown out of.'Ask yourself if this is a recent development; or is this something you've had your whole life, but maybe not noticed it as a problem or condition until now?
Is there such thing as semi-Adhd?
You can have some of the symptoms but unless a qualified doctor determines that you have 7 of 9 (I think) DSM-IV symptoms of inattentiveness and/or hyperactivity, impairment in two or more areas of life, and existence of symptoms in childhood, you don't have ADHD. Everybody has some of the symptoms, but it's the combination of nearly all of them plus the clinically significant impairment in life that constitutes the disorder.
Who is the author of DSM-IV?
The DSM-IV is written and revised by the American Psychiatric Association.
