Have Fidgeting, Distraction, Sleeplessness. No Medication Till Now. What To Do?
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!!!

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!

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
Its very difficult to diagnose ADHD only on your account. Your parents description is also a must. Very commonly ADHD is over diagnosed and one has to be careful before making a diagnosis.
Even in case you are having, you will benefit a lot after starting on drugs. Do visit a psychiatrist.
Other possibility could be anxiety disorder which presents with quite a similar picture.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
