What are some symptons of ADD?
Question:
Answers:
ADD and ADHD are made up disorders in the sense that we all know it as.. If you look around, the United States is the ONLY country that ADD and ADHD exist in. We are the only ones so quick to shove pills down our kids throats. If you think you may have the symptoms of ADD then the ONLY real way to know for sure is to get an MRI.it is an actual disorder but not as common as you think. In most of the cases, you will see that these children are either spoiled, or completely ignored. They have electronic babysitters such as game systems, computers and tv's in their rooms. They are the same kids that rarely go outside and play pretend or ride bikes. And when they do it's just to get from one friends house to another.
In other cases, there is no discipline or structure in the home, so the child is given free reign. With out structure and discipline, you have no boundaries.
A few cases the ADD symptoms are caused by food and/or environmental allergies! Red dye #40 is a big one! It is in almost everything!
If you think you are showing symptoms, get a hobby-learn to crochet or knit-take up reading or gardening or something else that can and will grab your attention. But don't sell yourself short by giving yourself a label that will stick with you for the rest of your life...ADD and ADHD are considered learning disabilities.
I know short attention span and memory loss could be some...but those are also symptoms of sleep deprivation. Have you been tested for sleep apnea?
hope this helps

My daughter had ADD.
She had trouble keeping focused on a project. Kept looking around the classroom in school.
Couldn't remember things, like spelling words.
Had trouble learning and reading and paying attention. She would be interested in everything but what she was supposed to be doing.
She was about 12 when we finally figured it out.
My two brothers, sister, and dad have add.
It shows signs when you cant keep focus. You have to yell the persons name a number of times for them to listen to you. Usually they cant do a certain job for long. They usually have messy rooms, messy house, half done paint jobs, etc. They are very annoying ppl. (especially my dad).
PS this can be treated with medication (brothers are on it)
