ADHD Questions

I'm a 16-years-old female who has for the past months been experiencing that my memory is degrading badly. I have always had a memory that was fair enough. I do have much stress and I do have social anxiety. I don't sleep that well, but that was never a problem before. I sleep around, 6-7 hours on school week. And 9+ hours on a holiday. I do take some medications for my adhd and I'm aware there are some side effects to that medicine. I couldn't even remember, a friend's name that I recently met, for some split seconds. Then after some thinking, I could finally remember it. I can remember certain situations that were very important. I could remember something from 5 years ago but not 2 weeks ago. And I do feel like, my memory gets better after I eat food. But it feels like it's getting worse as time passes. I did as a child had to do mind memory games at school, but I felt like I could still remember basic information or situations that happened some days prior. But now, I can even remember what I did 3 days ago? Is there something wrong with me? I'm showing early signs of dementia? Or i'm just overreacting?

Please calm down. You are not at all suffering from dementia. Actually you are suffering from anxiety and stress. You should prefer ayurvedic treatment for long term use. The best solution to your problem is counseling, yoga and meditation.
You may also take ayurvedic treatment for all your problems.
Try not to think on many topics at a time.
You are having a good energy level, try to give it a proper direction. Wish you all the best and good health.

There is no complete cure for ADHD. A person with ADHD has differences in brain development and brain activity that affect attention, the ability to sit still, and self-control.

The medication you mention is quite safe and methylphenidate is usually not combined with any other medications that lower the seizure threshold in patients that are already at risk for seizures, including but not limited to those who are in active withdrawal from alcohol and under treatment for the same.

Look forward to hearing from you. If you need help with booking an appointment o...more

Some people with adhd have fewer symptoms as they age, but some adults continue to have major symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. In adults, the main features of adhd may include difficulty paying attention, impulsiveness and restlessness. Symptoms can range from mild to severe.

Symptoms of adhd can be mistaken for emotional or disciplinary problems or missed entirely in quiet, well-behaved children, leading to a delay in diagnosis. Adults with undiagnosed adhd may have a history of poor academic performance, problems at work, or difficult or failed relationships. Adhd symptoms can change over time as a person ages.

Axepta 10 tablet modulates the activity of certain chemical messengers in the brain, which increases attention and decreases restlessness. It is a non-stimulant medicine. If your son has adhd it is good and needed for him.
