How do I know it's not ADHD and how do the doctors diagnose this?

Question

I need to know if I may have ADHD... very often when I try to concentrate on difficult homework, after about 2 hours I get SO irritated, and this feeling that if I don't do something fun like watch tv or play computer games then I will go insane. Is this ADHD?

Answer 1

no its normal

Answer 2

It's definatly not ADHD, if you had ADHD there would be no way you would be able to concetrate for 40 minutes before losing focus.  Most ADHD sufferers would struggle to concentrate for 4 minutes before needing to run around.  Also it would be unlikely you would be able to enjoy activities like watching TV, as you would struggle to stay still for any length of time and and concentrate on even thing you enjoy like TV and video games.

It is very normal to need to take a break from studies every 30 to 40 minutes and a good idea.  It will probably improve your learning ability.  If you just study for hours in a row you won't retain as much.

Answer 3

Diagnosing ADHD includes symptoms starting before (I think) the age of seven, easily distracted, troubles concentrating otherwise--alone in a quiet place, mind wanders all over the highlands, opposed to what needs to be concentrated on. The American government in a very seldom show bit of brilliance put forth guidelines to help

If this seems like it would apply to you, the best place to start is with parents (if under age) and then a physician or mental health provider, maybe someone at your school.

Answer 5

No, its just you being annoyed, and not wanting to do the difficult homework. Adhd is when you dont have your pills, and you get so hyper and like cant sit still for 30 seconds. and if you did have either of those it would be ADD i think. cause its when your distracted. but i never want to do my homework either, its just cause you dont want to do it, so you think about something fun, then really wanna do it..

Answer 6

ADHD if a few min you would move to the next thing when you have any form of ADD you loose interest in a matter of 2 min or less....  

Answer 7

no, it's not ADHD.

it's more like society-attention deficit disorder, which in my made up definition means this society is messing with your desire to study
