i think one of my friends has ADHD, except shes totaly oblivious to it. I'm afraid to tell her what I think, what should I do?!
Answer:First, you should look up the symptoms of ADHD. People tend to have misconceptions of what the disorder truly is (I have it, and I know this from personal experience. I'll be like "well, I have ADHD" and they'll be like "then why aren't you running around and climbing the walls?" and I'll say "I have the inattentive type"). If it seems that your friend fits the bill (though only a trained professional, like a psychologist, can determine this), talk to her. ADHD was the last thing that I would have ever thought of. Ask her to consider seeing her doctor about it. You're her friend, and you care about her.
Study her symptoms. Clues are constant leg rocking, finger rocking, head rocking, ect. Finger tapping cant stop moving ect If you see any of these symptoms serverly, Ask your parents to talk to hers they can talk to her docter.
realize that ADHD is made up by the psychs to drug you or shock you and is total bs. Think I am full of it? Go to www.cchr.org and see THEM say it on the videos.
