Question

How do you know if you have ADD?

Answer 1

ADD or attention deficit disorder is a general term frequently used to describe individuals that have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder without the hyperactive and impulsive behaviors. The terms are often used interchangeably for both those who do and those who do not have symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsiveness.

Answer 2

The only real way to know is to see a Dr and take a test for it...

There are so many symptoms and I have read books that my sons tutor gave me.. I did take him for testing and they they said he wasn't too bad but it did take effect on his study habits and grades in school...

I am pretty sure I have it also ..I too have many symptoms of it my sister has it and is on medication . I don't want to go on medication but I try my hardest to do my best and it isn't easy to deal with everyday tasks...Maybe I will talk to my Dr one of these days...If I ever follow through with things...That is my biggest problem..

I also heard it is heriditary and it does run in my family..
