You can look at a list of the symptoms "DSM-IV ADHD"
If you think you know someone who might have ADD then it would probably be better to just give them the web addy to this site so they can talk to us themselves.
Why do you think they have it? How long have you known the person? |
I've known the person for almost 10 years. And within the past 2 years he's been forgetting things a lot. He would sometimes forget what he ate yesterday for dinner, what he did yesterday, what he said before, etc. I sometimes help him think but it takes him a while to remember those things. Also, he plays piano very good before. And now he would play a line and forget the next line. Even if he knows the song really well, sometimes in the middle of the playing the song, he would totally forget what notes he's supposed to play next. I'm worried because he had very good memory before and it seems to be deteriorating within these 2 years, especially within the last 8 months.
So can a person develop ADD like that? Or does the person need to have it ever since childhood like you mentioned?
