Suggest Treatment For ADHD
when i was younger i could read books for hours, but now i am 15 and i no longer have the patience to sit like that for long periods of time. I am a female but most of the males in my family have ADHD. 4 cousins 3 uncles have ADHD and my brother also shows signs of ADHD. Do i have ADHD?

Hi, thanks for asking. No, you do not have ADHD. Just not being able to read books for long time, or not having patience does not amount to ADHD. There should be other feature like being forgetful, not able to organize things, avoiding things requiring mental efforts and all the symptoms should be to such an extent that it is affecting the functioning of a person.
