Suggest Treatment For ADHD

My boyfriend is ADD, maybe ADHD and he was taking ritalin, but has changed to Adderall. I think he talks a lot period, but it seems like it just doesn't ever stop anymore. He is intelligent, but I can't say anything. Sometimes if I try to add something to the conversation he just cuts me off. What do you think about the medication and does this sound like ADHD?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. ADD or ADD has so many related symptoms and are commonly over read during adolescent period. If your boyfriend is taking adderall, under the prescription of a psychiatrist, then he must be suffering from ADHD. Normally psychiatrists are trained to give medicines for the correct diagnosis. I surely think it to be true.

But from your description here, there are no symptoms are given which confirms his attention deficit or hyper activity. Talking incessantly cannot be termed as hyper activity. Any way, if you are able to provide me more symptoms, I shall try to diagnose. But again, his psychiatrist is the best judge.



If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
