Is lack of concentration a sign of ADHD?
human
I think I have ADHD but I'm not sure. I'm 13 years old and I'm making pretty good grades in school (B+'s, A-'s) but whenever I'm doing my homework I always get distracted and walk around, email my friends, play with my dogs, etc. etc. And my mom always tells me when I bring up the subject that I'm just overreacting and I'm just stressed but I don't know if it's just that. The only thing that makes me doubt that I have ADHD or something like that is I've never really been like this before- I've always been talkative in classes but I've never had real difficulty getting my homework done.

Hi. Usually children have ADHD when they are really small. like when they are between the ages of 4 to 7-8. Ask your family if you had ADHD or any such attention disorder when you were little. if you did, ask them to take you to a therapist or a psychiatrist. If, however, you do not have a history related with ADHD, but you still feel uneasy with yourself while working, try segregating your time frame. work on your paper for twenty minutes and then take a five minute break and do what you wish. then come back and repeat this 20 - 5 minute frame again. hope this helps you. if it doesn't, visit your family doctor and await suggestions.
