Adhd?

Former Member · January 2006

I know this sounds really stupid, but for about 1-2 years I have had concerntration problems and have always been one of the "loud" kids. It's kinda got worse within the last few months, when I've been doing physical activities such as P.E etc I get really hyper and aggressive. Theres a group of boys in my class who tease me a lot and make up rumours about me being a "smack head", today they were really winding me up in drama, messing my hair up and calling me names and I totally flipped and started hitting them, kicking them and pulling their hair really hard. This is not the first time it's happened, I've done similar things on the same based day, in drama (which is after P.E). People have often said I probably have ADHD, I've done my research and I still don't know enough to tell.
I am very impulsive, lack concerntration and get aggitated too easily. I also act hyper, but I have a real low blood pressure at the same time. I seem to have a lot of symptoms, but these have only occured in the past year and supposedly these develop before the age 7, although these developed when I was 13 or 14. Please could you help me with this?

Unfortunately, none of us here can diagnose you with ADHD. You need to see your GP if you feel that this is out of your control. Go to your docs, explain what you have just said here and he/she will send you for various tests.

Hey Mate :wave: My 23 year old sister was diagnosed with ADHD when she was about 4 years old, and was confirmed again last autumn. My mum has it, as do I. (I'm ADD Inattentive though).

Usually, ADHD is found in early childhood as is known medically, as a Chemical Imballance in the brain. - I'm not sure it can just 'develop'.

However, there are lots of other personality disorders out there and the only way of actually knowing what you've got, is to talk to your GP about it for a diagnosis or referal to a specialist.
My sister had to travel to a London clinic for her ADHD diagnosis.

Again, it's best to talk to your GP about any mental health concerns as we're not qualified to give you any medical advice.

Sure sounds like it. But yeah, none of us can do anything for you, nor tell you for sure.
