If I was diagnosed with ADHD at birth and am not taking medication for it...?

Question

And have not been since I was a young child, is there a possibility I could still join the Marine Corps?

Answer 1

No one is diagnosed with ADD, or ADHD at birth.  Try again.  

Answer 2

I don't see why not.  I was diagnosed with ADHD while in elementary school and had to take meds.  They kept changing my meds throughout elementary school and finally I quit taking them when I started middle school, and my parents and I pretty much feel like I grew out of it.  

I guess it all depends on how it effects you and how you listen/pay attention.  I'd say go for it...the worst that can happen is you aren't allowed to join, or get a medical discharge.

Answer 3

Wow, the doctors are getting good if they were able to tell that you have ADHD when you were born! Try to get into the marines and see what happens.

Answer 4

Are the docs even sure its ADHD?

Ive been called ADD ADHD Asbergurs Skitzo

you name it i AM it.

and they are all WRONG.

You might want to get a 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th opinion on this

and yea, youll probably still be able to join
