I have some questions on ADD and ADHD?

Posted by admin on February 22, 2009

Kay asked:


1-are you born with it?
2-How are you tested? do they do a blood test?
3-Can someone have either one but not have the signs until they are a teen(17)
Here is what’s going on with my brother
-if he see’s something blue he looks at it
-When he is in class other things catch his attention. Like a yellow bag. His attention is on that. Like he can’t pay attention to the teacher. When something cathes his attention he blocks the teacher out
-can’t sit still. Ask’s to go to the bathroom in school so he can walk around
-If someone is playing with a pen it catches his attention and he can’t foucs on class until it is stopped.

Is anyone dating an adult with ADD or ADHD and how does it affect your relationship?

Boo B asked:


Again, sorry if you have already read this question in another category. Sometimes you get more answers if you choose another cat.
When I say adult, I mean a serious relationship between two people who are at least 19yrs old preferably 25 yrs or older. This is only because there are many things that you (at least I) experience after the sheltered life of college is over.
I agree with you on the fact that we are interesting, very intersting but there must be other people out there who either have serious boyfriends/girlfriends or husbands/wives and find it difficult at times to deal with us! My boyfriend loves me a great deal but I tend to sometimes “blurt” out what comes to mind without thinking and it usually is hurtful comments because I am ultra sensitive. I feel that a great deal that comes out of my mouth is just a protective mechanism that my boyfriend has learned to ignore. If he said those things to me however I would be devastated. You know, those things just to get a reaction at that particular moment that we regret later.

Do you have any of these disorders?

Normal Human Experience Now Masqueraded as “Disorders”

Do you have difficulty sleeping after drinking coffee? The problem isn’t a product of your poor judgment in guzzling java immediately before retiring. You are a victim of 292.89 — Caffeine-Induced Sleep Disorder F15.8. If you reflect on your shyness while tossing and turning, the problem could be the epidemic of 300.23 — Social Phobia F40.1. Don’t worry. Drug treatment is available.

Unfortunately, if you’re thinking about your place in the cosmos or spiritual issues, you’ve got V62.89 — Religious or Spiritual Problem Z71.8, and I couldn’t locate a drug for that.

Bad parenting is about to become a thing of the past. It’s not your fault, or your child’s fault. Besides the ubiquitous pandemic of ADHD, there are other disorders you may not be aware of.

Your ill-behaving child may be suffering from 313.81 — Oppositional Defiant Disorder F91.3. If your child often argues with adults, loses their temper, deliberately annoys people, etc., you’re dealing with ODD. Of course, this must be differentiated from 312.8 — Conduct Disorder F91.8, and 312.9 — Disruptive Behavior Disorder Not Otherwise Specified F91.9.

Should the problem be getting along with a brother or sister, the condition is V61.8 — Sibling Relational Problem F93.3. And should you argue with your spouse about whether the child should be grounded or drugged, you might be looking down the barrel of V61.1 — Partner Relational Problem Z63.0.

If math homework is a challenge, be sure to check for 315.1 — Mathematics Disorder F81.2. You must be careful not to confuse this with a V62.3 — Academic Problem Z55.8. If things are OK in the math department, but you have a teen experiencing uncertainty about life goals, career preferences, values, loyalties, etc., you’re dealing with 313.82 Identity Problem F93.8. This has been downgraded from a “disorder” in DSM-III-R, to a mere “problem” in DSM-IV. I’ll bet that makes you feel better

Why do teenagers have to use computers (they must, believe me, I am a teen) for school assignments?

Posted by admin on August 20, 2008

nobody asked:


I hate it, I always get distracted by them.

I hate society because we actually are forced to use things that distract us. Is this what society has been reduced to, distractions? No wonder procrastination levels and ADD/ADHD and other attention disorders have soared.

This society is cruel in my opinion.

I, as a student, would really rather not use computers!

I appreciate ALL of the opinions you can give me!

We are forced to use computers in class to do assignments and out of class to do papers
