I Think I Might Have ADHD - How Do I Know?
If you think you might have ADHD something must be happening to make you suspect you have the condition.
Are you having problems with memory or concentrating? Do you find you can not finish any task you start, whether at work or at home? Is it difficult to follow a conversation? These are some, but not all, of the symptoms of Adult ADHD.
How do you know if you have ADHD? You must go to a specialist and have the correct testing done; otherwise you could end up being prescribed medication that you do not really need.
There have been many cases when the testing was not done or was done inadequately only to later find the person did not have ADHD.
An adult or a child might have ADHD but there are other medical conditions which are similar and must be ruled out.
If something distressing is going on in your life; a divorce, or death of a parent or a spouse, this can cause attention problems which a person might think is some type of attention disorder; most likely the person is preoccupied with the stress of the situation; this is normal.
Other medical problems like depression, anxiety, hyperthyroidism or insomnia can lead to hyperactivity which is a symptom of ADHD.
Multiple disorders could be present like learning disabilities or a mood disorder.
So, in order to rule out ADHD many different types of testing may be possible.
EEG's or electroencephalograms can detect abnormal brain waves and this method is considered one of the most advanced ways to detect ADHD.
Some people originally diagnosed with the condition were found to not have ADHD after this type of testing.
If, after testing, you think you might have ADHD, and are having problems with ADHD type symptoms such as hyperactivity, or not being able to concentrate, try a homeopathic remedy which can relieve all of these symptoms and support healthy brain functions helping to supply oxygen and nutrients to the brain for cognitive function and memory so you can focus and concentrate.
