I think I have ADHD

2018-05-01 03:02:39
I feel like I have severe ADHD. I am so easily distracted and I'm constantly moving around in my seat because I cannot sit still. Even when I'm driving I find myself staring off and having to catch myself. My mom doesn't think I have it because she had it as a kid and my symptoms don't match hers. She says I don't have it and I need to stop talking about it but it's eating at me because I know it's something. Even if I'm tested and don't have it, I'd like to know whether it's that or not.

Hi, I dont know what symptoms your mother had, or what symptoms you have for which you have got tested for. What you have mentioned is a clinical symptom of ADHD but just based on this I can not comment on your diagnosis. consult a psychologist for detailed history assessment and diagnosis along with intervention.
