ADD-ADHD

No, it's alcohol!

Yes! How I know this is I have ADHD and I get along with everyone else that has ADHD. They understand each other and get it when one of them goes crazy xD They will learn from each other through the years and might be friends forever because of how much they are alike or how the one thing they have in common. Hope I answered your question!

no one had any idea what ADD was in 1990, let alone in ancient Egypt.

They aren't birth defects but yes he can. The King of Sweden for instance is dyslexic and so it the Crown princess. I have ADHD from my father's side of the family. The weak immune system might be because of things happening when he was born or the life he has lived so that depends on why he has it, If you with phenmonia means pneumonia it is not hereditary like that. it'a virus.

Although only a doctor who is experienced with both these medications and their possible interaction effects can answer this, the general (and safer) answer would be no. First of all, there is a reason why ADHD pill containers warn users not to break the pills/chew them while taking them. This speeds their release amount per time and can have dangerous effects (such as tachycardia (too fast heartbeat), hypertension, anxiety, etc.) some of which can be life threatening. Both these drugs are stimulants, so if you take them combined, you are increasing your risks for these complications. In addition, because these work by related mechanisms, they could have combined effects that are different than either alone and more dangerous. If it is not working, the best things to try are different dose levels, different administration (for some, taking a low dose over several times a day is better than one/two normal doses), or other coping mechanisms (such as increased exercise (when NOT on the medication, i.e., at least 6 hours since you last took it (if it's not the extended release)). Also, it's possible that your symptoms may be caused by other problems than ADHD, and that is why the medication doesn't work.

Hope this answered your question. I can 99.9% guarantee you that no qualified doctor would ever recommend double doses, as it could kill you.

Those are his battle reflexes, which have kept him alive several times.

well you can go to www.webs.com and make a add free website (may cost some money for add free). But www.webs.com is totally free

A patient with RS may be given drugs for breathing problems and difficulties with muscle control. One medication that is useful is baclofen (Lioresal), a muscle relaxant. Patients with seizures are given anticonvulsant (anti-seizure) medications.

It is illegal to "Pick on" any kid.

But it is allowed and required to hold all the children to the same standard and require the same level of behaviour.

This can make it seem like he is being unfair to the kid with ADHD. But what he is trying to do is teach the kid to behave like the other kids.

ADHD often has one other "side effect" that comes with it dyslexia is very common one but you can have dyslexia and not ADHD they don't come as a joint package.

I know that ADD can start as early as childhood. I was diagnosed when I was about 16 years of age and my doctor told me that I had ADD way before I was ever diagnosed. So the answer to your question: Can ADD start at 15? Yes it can

by now, add/adhd is such a widely accepted disorder and is by no means difficult to diagnos. if you believe your child has add, hopefully you have educated yourself in a responsible manner.If not, you might search "Google" for articles, tests etc. specifically ones writen by medical researchers, doctors and psychologists.or check your public library or some of the larger boodstores for more recently published books of course a child-pschologist can make this diagnosis fairly easily. Just keep in mind... its true, esp. when/if you're in a situation where the folks you were hoping would help may not want to be bothered and may try to even talk you out of it by using medical jargon, etc. that's just another reason why you want to be as capeable as they are, know the termenology, etc.This shouldn't happen mind you- its more like the worst case scenerio. but you know what they say, "education is power" and if you believe that your child is add, you're probably right. if it were my child, i would deffinately consider having my child evaluated privately. and if suggested, discuss and consider medication. in some cases it may prove to be an integral part of treating your child. in the long run, and ideally it will likely be a joint effort. ideally because that will render the best results and you as a parent will be an integral if not the most the best shot your child has at getting though this hope this is of some help. he; yours,

you should know that there is a law that would require your school district to pay for your child's schooling if they cannot provide and adequate education. if you enlist the help of your public school district to find out if your child has add, and it turns out s/he does, then it is their job to make a cirriculum for them. most likely they will try to put him/her in a secial ed class DO NOT LET THEM. you will have to FIGHT for your child. make it CLEAR that s/he is NOT stupid nor does s/he have some mental defect. she learns differently than the "norm" and they need to provide her with an environment in which s/he can thrive. if the school can't provide such an environment they will help you search for another school (private)

HERE is where the law comes in. if you find a school on your own that is the best possible match for your child and the public school didn't suggest it to you (but there must be some kind of proof that being at the school you chose is better than any the public school tried to send your child to) then you can sue the district to pay your school's tuition. my parents did it with me and my brother.

You are born with it. Look it up in the DSM, look at specialists websites, most likely its genetic(my mom and grandma have it as do I) BUt you cant catch it and most do not grow out of it.

Primarily it involves a genetic disposition that leaves you susceptible to getting it.

I had a psychology professor who believed it was related to a lack of "goodness of fit" between parent and child. Not bad parenting, but not a very good fit.

Another experienced counselor I know believes it can be related to trauma at an earlier age.

Note: These are controversial and not generally accepted as true. Many children are raised very well and get it. It in no way means "bad parenting", and nevertheless these 2 people could be wrong!

Also: I've heard there is a correlation between ear problems in childhood(i.e. inner ear infections) and ADD.

WHAT?????!!!! most people don't grow out of it???!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! screw ADD

my mom thinks i have add,my sister thinks she has ADHD

When I started adderal I had a rush the first 2 days, the it stopped. you might want to talk to your doctor to lower the dose and see if that worlks.My doctor is montering me. i am now taking 30mg and it is not working at all, it works for a couple of hrs and then my adhd kicks in again, My phsy said that it is normal to change the dose until you find out what works, hope that helped.

you are stuck with adhd your whole life

I often hear that children with ADHD get disability, but I would imagine there are other things going on besides ADHD in order to get disability. People with ADHD can be extremely productive, energetic, creative. and get a lot of things done. They often can run circles around other people in terms of getting work done, so some employers love them. It depends on what type of job you can get and the environment. For example, people with ADHD work well with computers because it is hands-on so they make great software analysts, web designers, etc. Anything they can do with their hands - art, construction, cooking, writing, making things are all good choices, or physical work like farming, moving, construction, etc. So, it is unlikely that someone with pure ADHD with no other condition could get disability. In addition, the judge would want to know why that person was not medicated which makes ADHD symptoms quite manageable. If you are working and have not been able to keep your job for 6 months, reconsider the type of job you are doing and/or the environment in which you are working. Are there lots of distractions and lots of interruptions, chaos ? If so, maybe you could chose a different job or environment. Also, if the medicine you are on is not helping your symptoms you can change medicines or you may want to consider re-checking your diagnosis. There are other conditions that symptoms are similar but they are not ADHD.

It's hard to say. Minds wonder naturally. It certainly doesn't mean a diagnosis of ADHD.

really?? children who are not lovingly touched turn out fine.... Please do not lovingly touch your children!

It's possible it may be a trait in your family (many families are dysfunctional) or, you may be depressed. You should speak with your doctor and tell them how you feel (don't be embarrassed) and let the doctor diagnose you. It's possible you could have thyroid problems, etc. Not eating properly, not enough sleep, working or studying too much, doing drugs (not accusing you here) can all contribute to procrastination.
