Have fidgeting, distraction, sleeplessness. No medication till now. What to do?
Patient: hi I am a 14 year old female and I am worried I might have adhd. I always seem to be figeting, my hands are always moving when everyone else is still (like in photos). I alwqys struggle to do my prep on time because I get distracted by other things or people easily, I often forget what my homework was so I don't do it. I cant sleep at night but always wake up early. I seem to always be talking when im around people buyt not when im alone and I don't like silence! please tell me if I should see someone about this or if its just hormones or whatever!!! Doctor: Hi there ~  Thank you for your question and I am glad that you ask this on a public forum.  It may be that you actually do have ADHD, however it needs to be corroborated with a history from your parents and you need to take yourself along with them to a psychiatrist who can help diagnose you and if needed treat you for the condition.  I hope you do this as soon as you can.  I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
