It is a fabricated name that doctors give to undisciplined, over sugared spoiled little brats that have parents that don't know how to raise them properly.

Have you tried the NHS website? It is pretty good for general diagnosis, and has links for specific problems. Good luck

You don't say where you're from but in the UK you don't need a prescription to buy them. You can even buy them on Ebay! If you have a medical need for one (diabetes for example) you don't have to pay VAT (tax) on them, but you would need something from a doctor to prove this.

Check out CHADD.org.  It is a reputable site for AD/HD information.  If you are doing research on AD/HD, I would recommend staying away from websites that you happen to come upon for information.  Anyone can post anything out there, true or not.  They do not know the cause of AD/HD.  There has been a strong correlation (NOT cause and effect) between prenatal drug exposure and the child exhibiting symptoms of AD/HD.  BUT, this is not proven and it is not the only explanation.  They think that AD/HD is caused by problems in the temporal lobe area of the brain (area over your eyes, like your forehead).  This part of the brain controls many of the executive functions, like attention, impulse control, etc.  I recommend looking up information in professional journals at a library-- if you are a college student, then definately check out your university's library!  They will have all the most recent research conducted.

Doctors are having a bit of a hard time in some of the European nations, especially in Germany. But you will be welcome in Norway and in the United Kingdom, because they have an enormous shortage of doctors. If you want a calm life in the UK, forego the big cities, and choose a rural community, possibly in Wales or Scotland. Approach the embassies or consulates of the UK and Norway to find out more.\nOther countries you may enjoy a lot are Sweden, Finland, and France. Depending on where you are from, you may also find many compatriates there. Greece and Spain, Portugal are also nice, but the language requirements may be more difficult to meet for you unless you speak one of theirs?\nBest of luck to you, I am sure you will be welcome.

First, to the Tom Cruise above me, you can go shove off. No one gives a sh*t about your opinions when they actually live with this disorder. Besides, your "9/10" stat is totally made up and ADD and ADHD are both technically the same thing, as doctors now more formally diagnose people as ADHD-inattentive type, ADHD-hyperactive type, or ADHD-combined type.\n\nAs for the question, I'm just going to say...if the person hasn't gone to a psychiatrist and been formally diagnosed, they might as well do it. A psychiatrist can recommend some different wayts to concentrate, etc.

Since they are now marketing to "consumers" instead of doctors (like they used to), they have to come up with catchy names.  "Lorazepam" isn't that appealing or memorable.  "Adivant" is both.  How about this..."4 oz. beef patty on 2 buns with onions, pickles, mustard, ketchup, and cheese, if you'd like" or "Quarter Pounder with Cheese"

You would get it the same place you got the diagnosis for you BiPD. If you self diagnosed it, you should really see a professional. However, to fill in some more info, ADHD children have a higher rate of developing into someone who experiences BiPD I/II. So, even if you do have ADHD, your provider will treat you for the BiPD which can not be treated (normally) like ADHD is treated. Meaning, it will be unlikely to get any Ritalin as this could exacerbate your BiPD. Unless you are a "rapid cycler" then you could get some kind of stimulant, but likely not Ritalin. Not that you were asking for it... just wondering why you WANT an ADHD diagnosis? Like I said, even if you get the diagnosis, you will be treated for the BiPD as it is dominant.  Good luck. :-)

As someone with plenty of experience with related conditions, I think the answer is kind of complicated... Yes, there is a tendency towards overdiagnosis and overanalyzing these days, however...I think they've also gotten better at recognizing these kinds of problems. I don't think any of it reflects an actual increase in cases...I think it reflects things like catching cases that would have formerly gone under the radar, having broader definitions for the terms, and that tendency to label everything as pathological. There are some fringe groups who would have you believe otherwise, and I have encountered them as a person with NLD who's done a lot of research about it...but that's all they are: fringe groups who either want to scare people, sell something to people, or just benefit from bending the statistics somehow. \n\n"Autism", when it first came into the lexicon, was something very specific and very rare; these days, they talk about an "autistic spectrum", which is broad and easy to manipulate into whatever you want it to be to fit a particular situation. I think ADHD has a similar problem with terminology.

I'm ARh- and both my husbands were ARh+.  I've had three children.  After the first one, I was given something called Anti D Serum so that the next baby would be OK.  Same thing happened after my second child.  All 3 babies were fine.  This was free (in the UK - thank goodness for the National Health Service).  Don't know what happens elsewhere.

I do.  Hi, nice to meet another chiarian. How is life for you?  I have been diagnosed with ACM since 1999.

MD is an "allopath" which is the traditional doctor to most people.\n\nDO is an "osteopath" which is a tradition incorporating things like chiropractic techniques.  Osteopaths trained outside of the united states are not considered physicians.\n\nMDs and DOs are both eligible for residency after completing medical school and can specialize in things like surgery, radiology, etc.\n\n\nAloha\n\n\nP.S.   I looked at the site listed in the answer above and cannot agree with the "DO has an advantage" statement by whoever wrote that.  Their description of DO training being "extra" is simply wrong.
