Q: I think I have ADHD, but I'm not totally sure.

EVERY single adult I've ever told, "I think I have ADHD." or, "I have ADHD." says that I don't. All my friends agree. I've also looked it up on the internet, and I have about 80% of the symptoms. (Sleeplessness, can't pay attention, [Big'un!!] Things like Mountian Dew have the reverse affect on you [Make you mellow out.])
I've also told my parents about how I have a lot of the symptoms, but they still say I don't.

I plan on asking my doctor next time I go in for a physical. doctor

And the only time I can seem to stand still is when my brain is fully occupied/stimulated in something. luvcomp

So, do I have ADHD (or ADD) and how do I tell? Or, even better, how can I know for sure? Is there some kind of test? Shocked

Yea, you have ADHD. ADHD doesn't mean HYPER. Its main characteristic is innattentiveness in things that we don't find enjoyable.

If you need to ask then you don't have it, It's something you born with.
