Do I have ADHD?

Hey everyone,

Well I'm 25 and turning 26 soon and for the last 4 or so years I have really been struggling with focusing and doing the everyday day to day task which should be fairly easy. I have my goals to where i would like to take my life but when it comes down to it i just cant seem to get anything done.  When I was 7th grade and accouple times in high school my teachers asked my if i was on any meds like riddlin. I asked my parents about it and they were against the idea because of the side effect etc.  Now that I'm older and my life seems like a puzzle i cant put together, I wanna get some help for this.

Stephan

You should have a complete physical exam and have a nutritionist go over your diet. I solved a couple of serious problems when I found I was iodine-deficient (hypothyroid) and hypoglycemic. A minor problem was solved when I added liquid trace minerals to my drinking water. If I were you I would look to the physical first.
