What do doctors do to see if you have ADHD?
30 Oct 2009
I’m pretty sure I have ADHD. My friends, mom, relatives, everyone often tell me they think I have it.
I know a friend who has it and when she’s off her medicine is the same way I am now.
I go to the doctor tomorrow for my physical and I’ll tell her about this and see if she’ll test me for it.
But I was wondering, what do they do to see if you do have ADHD?
If I do have it, what does the medicine do to me? Is it like bipolar medicine? My sister was on that and she said it made her have no emotions. If so then I wont ask my doctor about it, because I don’t want to be emotionless.
Please and thank you.
Jojo.
They give you cognative tests similar to an IQ test to find out if you have ADHD. The medicine they prescribe for ADHD are not at all like bipolar medication whatsoever. Bipolar medication have phenothiazine backbones while ADHD medication usually consists of phenethylamine backbones which are completely different chemicals and don’t react in any way like bipolar medication. So it is unlikely that ADHD medication will have any effects on your emotions.

Just saying, I have adhd, and i never take pills. I heard this lady talking to her son.
Mother: "you are being VERY obnoxious today! HAve you taken your adhd pills?"
Son: "No, but mom! i dont need em! they make me dizzy…"
Mother : "Well too bad, if you dont take them, you will run into the street and die."
Son: *shuts up*
I wanna put HER on medication! I mean, people with ADD or ADHD even SEVERELY, dont need pills. They said if i didnt take my pills, I’d probably go insane. i was like wtf?
Are doctors going insane? and why would they wanna just perscribe us drugs we dont need!?
