ADHD?


Question Posted Tuesday February 7 2006, 6:34 pm

I have problems focusing.
During class, if I am not talking to the person next to me I fall asleep. I ALWAYS talk, no matter what. All my teachers write in my comments that I talk to much, I just can't help it I get so distracted and bored easily.
Also, I can't focus on one thing at once, if I do I end up frustrated and stop working, or start like flipping out because I don't get it.
I was wondering....do I have ADHD?

Sleep deprivation has a negative affect on concentration. You may be over-tired. Are you getting enough sleep? If you are getting less than five hours on average, you might want to get to bed earlier, or, if you're having trouble sleeping, you may consider talking to your physician about a possible sleeping disorder.

you may have some kind of ADD, but you can try different methods of focusing. When the bell rings and class begins, try to take notes and concentrate with talking to others. If you always talk to the same people, then try sitting somewhere else for a day. If you didn't get the information in class, taking notes may help you later, when there are not some other distractions. Good luck!

I'm not an expert on these things but I think you should probably go to the doctor to see if they can prescribe anything that can help you focus at school.
Hope I helped!

I dont think you have ADHD, and Talking has nothing to do with that.. I have the same problem with the talking.. All my teachers hate me because of it and i dont have either ADHD or ADD. But you probably have ADD. If you cant focuss on things, Or you get frustrated than i would have to say thats ADD. But im not a professinal so i wouldn't know for sure. So i would tell your doctor and get tested for it.
