What Are The Symptoms Of ADHD?
I am concerned I may have adhd! I am now 30, I am 5foot4 and 10 stone. I have had a long history of drug misuse and am on methadone. My 7 year old son has adhd. As I have been working with an adhd nurse for him I have realised that I have and always have had alot of the same symptoms as my son. As an adult I find it hard to concentrate, I am easily distracted, I find it hard to prioritise tasks even the housework takes me forever. I feel a bit foolish about this and don t want to go to my gp, I have learnt to live with it. I worry, how can I help my son if I m having trouble with similar things?

ADHD kids make it through adulthood with Milder form of their illness , they can have a successful life .
helping them during early diagnosis can assist them in achieving good evaluation in school , good relationship with peers and make them have goals and self respect .
behavioral and psychotherapy are the mainstay of treatment , drugs like methylphenidate can help in concentration during learning hours because it has short half life .
I hope this helps
