Best Answer

ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Symptoms of ADHD:

  • Impulsiveness: a child who acts quickly without thinking first.
  • Hyperactivity: a child who can't sit still, walks, runs, or climbs around when others are seated, talks when others are talking.
  • A child may have Impulsiveness or them combined but hyperactivity alone is not considered to be ADHD

What happens to someone who has been misdiagnosed and has taken ADHD medication for years?

Nothing. I'm guessing that one doctor told you that you had ADHD and then another doctor told you that you didn't. This doesn't necessarily mean that either one was wrong. Most doctors now will say that ADHD is a disease, but some stubborn conventional doctors still say that ADHD isn't a disease but a personality, or that it doesn't exist. They are right in a way, but whether ADHD is a disease, a personality, or nothing at all, ADHD medications definitely help a lot of people. -DJ Craig

Can high energy children be mistaken for ADHD?

ADHD should only be diagnosed by a professional. Frank Barnhill, M.D., author of Mistaken for ADHD, listed nearly 50 conditions in his book that can be mistaken for ADHD. Dr. Barnhill said irritability, hyperactivity, poor memory and bad grades are classic ADHD symptoms, but they can be also symptoms of sleep apnea, thyroid disorders, food allergies, seizures and learning disabilities. ADHD diagnoses are rising at nearly 3% per year according to the Centers For Disease Control, which could mean as many as 9 million kids with ADHD in 2010.
