Could I have ADD?

I took that ADD online test, and did It truthfully and got 91
I did very much on questions like
4. I have a quick temper... a short fuse.
5. I am irritable, and get upset by minor annoyances.
11. I easily become upset.
12. I seem to be thin skinned and many things upset me.
14. I am more comfortable when moving than when sitting still.
17. There is a lot of "static" or "chatter" in my head.
18. Even when sitting quietly, I am usually moving my hands or feet.
23. I am unable to stop daydreaming.

I am 15 years old, a girl and yeh, What can I do, I told mum I think I have ADD but she laughed and didn't take it seriously.

hi i read this and though i cant help you much all i can suggest is you approach your doctor yourself as you are able to do this and anything you talk about is confidential and they cant even talk to your mum about it! its your health and no one has the right to laugh at any concerns you may have...also maybe there is someone in school or college you could talk to. maybe your mum thinks you are using it as an excuse for not doing so well in school etc bear in mind parents dont like to think they have failed!
all i will say is it isnt that easy to get a proper diagnosis for ADD.

hope this helps

I think you would be able to figure it out best by seeing a doctor or therapist. I'm pretty sure any doctor will be able to talk to you about this, next time you get the chance to see a real doctor, if your mom won't let you talk to a therapist.

However, in my experience, medicine is not what I would want for anybody. I am almost 17, and I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was about 7. I never actually had a therapist, but for me, taking the medicine actually seemed to change me.

I feel like I became someone different... when I'm on medication I feel spacy... It's almost like I'm zoned out but my mind becomes completely empty. I would suggest only therapy, if you do actually have ADHD/ADD, and not taking medication because, just personally, I prefer being myself and not taking my medicine at all, and the medicine actually seemed to change who I am, both when I take it and when I don't. When I don't take it, I think I actually have worse ADHD/ADD problems than before I was ever diagnosed, a possible effect from the medicine.

I'm just letting you know from my personal experience, and what I would do because of how it all went for me.

You could print out this thread and show it to her, to show you seriously think you have it.

Yes that adhd cause I have the same thing quick temper and what you need to do is let your pcp doctor know so he or she can referral to a specialist good luck

Or you could talk to a counselor at school, and have her discuss it with your mother..

i think you have it,i got 93 and i may not be dignoused by a professional but me and my mom know we have ADHD, and you show the basic signs of it too, like what Coko said. but its best to get a professional piont of view.wish you luck
