I definetley have ADHD. cases of short term memory loss at random, I can't keep info in my head if I don't use the skill after learning it, explosions of hyperactivity, huge crashes after a good few hours, i'll sit down to do some homework and it takes me like 1 hour to do a 20 min assignment because I zone out, eat like a horse ( motabalism is crazy from the hyperactivity) and probly more that I just can't seem to remember right now. What kind of adhd do I have?

[drcandelwood]

You need to see a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist to receive the proper diagnosis. It is easy to misdiagnose ADHD when someone has some other problems. Also often people who have ADHD have other problems such as learning disabilities or depression.

[drcandelwood]

The fact that you are concerned is enough to justify seeing a professional. At the very least, talk to your physician about your concerns. Sorry that I can't give you a definitive answer, but I would not be able to diagnose you without completing an evaluation.

[EniIorac]

I have all this stuff... but my parents say I have ADD and ADHD. Is that possible?

[optifog]

Oh, by the way, I like the video, it's sweet and you picked a catchy tune. :-)

[Entrancing]

how did i achieve a PhD in psychology?? why dr c and elwood helped me thru!

[ikamonb]

i got adhd

[shadowgirl16]

um...im adhd. and i don't get borad easy..

[drcandelwood]

Currently we diagnose three types of ADHD. People who have the primarily inattentive type, are neither hyperactive nor impulsive. In fact some of them are hypoactive, less active than normal. These people are often daydreamers who get distracted by their own thoughts. Perhaps this is the type of ADHD you have.

[grame141]

i just zone out in school sometimes does this mean i have A.D.H.D or am i just not paying enough attention in class

[optifog]

I'm inattentive but can't hold on to info even when I'm interested. If I ask my mum what's for dinner and she doesn't respond for a few seconds, I forget that I even asked her and then don't notice her talking to me. I have to ask again when it next occurs to me that I'd like to know what's for dinner.

[muppetspuppets]

I haven't in a long time, but few times I'd get up, turn off the light, and sit back down....

But all I noticed was the light going out. But my parents told me, " You just got up and turned it off" I guess I just kinda zoned out while I did it ....

[optifog]

I might be very interested in how a biological process or a game works, but can't keep track of the sequence because you need to hold in mind what you saw a second ago at the same time as understanding something new in order to connect them chronologically. I guess I need more working memory storage space, because non-intuitive sequences in any form are absurdly difficult for me to learn. But yeah, I'm not bored easily. The bored kids took in what they heard without even wanting to; I couldn't.

[bmchellek]

even if ADHD is made up, that was funny, and scary.

[StarfireDancer01]

no, ADHD is real. my friends boyfriend has it. it stands for attention deficit hyperactive disorder. i agree though its funny.

[shadowgirl16]

yes it is i do have it. its like a high.honestly i think its awsome. i can't spell that great. but im not dumb.our minds can travle and come up with things that most people couldn't. sure it makes it hard. but for those who learn to use it. its a gift. and i hate those pills. they make me moody and gave me anxity...ugh..pluse it borad me. i only ever got borad when i took those

[krisanna]

hahahaha that was retarted but funny indeed!

[janettezamora]

omg!omg!omg! yay sing along now!, hey, i got adhd...now, this song changes everything xD

[isleepwhenican2]

As a future teacher, and as a mom of a child with ADHD, I think this was great. Yeah it is not for adults in general, it is for children. Thanks.

[drcandelwood]

I'm glad you enjoyed the clip, and you're absolutely right: it's aimed at children.  Other parts of the video are aimed at parents, presenting clinical information and recommendations, and continue to include puppets so that families can enjoy and learn together.
