What signs point to ADHD? I have never had any doctor consider this, I have no reason to ever consider it.

Brief Answer:
It needs to be evaluated properly

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Freaking out on minor issues, moving around when expected to sit and not concentrating may be the symptoms.

It is a very common problem ( around 8-10% of population), very often missed so not a bad idea to screen through the questionaire. It is often present in family and easily treatable.

Second option could be social anxiety disorder but never to forget, Anxiety disorder is a co morbid condition with ADHD in 40% of cases so a proper evaluation is needed.
