Thanks a lot guys for taking the time to give me all of this information, it is all very interesting and has been very helpful in gaining perspective (just because it is harmless now doesn't mean it won't get worse). I will go and see a neurologist the first chance I get.(after my evil...

Thanks a lot for the info it looks as if you guys are probably right.

Actually I just thought of a possible way it can be medically shown that someone has ADHD at least one type of it anyway. One symptom is that concentration is broken when to much pressure is applied on the act of concentration. This can be overcome by use of adrenalin. Thus it should be possible...

There is an evaluation test that I did when I was small but the details of this is very hazy as it was so long ago. The best way to evaluate someone's mental state is to have them talk to a psychologist. I don't know the details of how exactly they evaluate you either though. The thing is there...

You make a great point, if you can overcome your ADHD without medication that is great, your mindset obviously makes a big difference and people do become dependent on the medication, I would say that I am. However for some this is much better than the alternative. I mean most people who take...

I don't know a lot about migraines either, but I know one symptom is a headache, while I experience no kind of pain in this state of mind.

I think everyone was agreeing with everyone, but we didn't phrase our arguments in a way that everyone could understand. The analogy might have caused a bit of confusion though.

Ok so if I understand your argument correctly you mean that the danger with a drug such as ritalin is that it will be used with the wrong purposes. Which is what happens sometimes, since it regulates dopamine, which is a feel good hormone it can give you a buzz if you take enough. However that...

Just want to add to that, that it has been shown that leaving ADHD children un-medicated can result in them feeling inferior and hopeless. This can lead to reckless behaviour and the use of drugs. Anyway ritalin is one of the most tested drugs on the market and has very few side effects. Thus...

I also have trouble sleeping, but found if you do cardio a few hours before you go to sleep it help a lot. Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate sleep and wake cycles. This is stimulated by light and is probably the reason I have more trouble sleeping in winter than in summer. So maybe get...

Well I have thought about it a lot and I doubt it is a physical problem since a auditory excitement cannot be brought on by physical means, the only thing it can do it create disturbances such as when the cilia are damaged and you get tinnitus. This is more of a over focusing on the different...

Ok so I just read the thread that physicsforums cannot give a diagnosis to this, but would it be possible to just hear people's opinions about the disorder, because I have been to a psychiatrist who didn't know about this disorder.

I have had ADHD my whole life and have read extensively on the subject. Like most people said it is a condition that varies in extremity as well as symptoms. The main cause is irregular releases of dopamine. Dopamine is produced in the subconscious to keep the brains attention on a certain...

Hey guys, I am curious about a condition I have had ever since I can remember. It is a short burst in hypersensitivity especially in hearing and touch. It last for up to about 2 minutes and is quite annoying. It makes every movement feel more difficult and exhausting. When I listen to music...

Thanks a lot for your response. With the information they gave us your answer is probably the one the wanted, since they didn't give the initial distance between the block and the bullet. But otherwise there would have to be a change in potential energy as the bullet would have a downwards...
