Question:
Is this part of the effects of ADD?
A friend of mine has ADD and she isn't taking anything for it.
One glance off the road she gets into the left lane we nearly hit a semi head on that's at least 20 feet away going 60miles
She says things she doesn't mean to without thinking. She apologizes but I don't believe her but uh if it has something to do with her ADD then maybe I will understand. For example she treats me like a stupid retard, I confronted her and she denied it. Next day she got mad and said "the reason why I treat you stupid is cuz you act like a little kid and you talk like a little kid!!" Then later she apologizes for not thinking and blurting that out. I said don't apologize that was the truth.
So any of this has to do with her ADD?? She also forgets things too. Thanks for the help.
She's the only one that accuses me of acting like a kid. others say I'm brilliant and stuff.
Answers:
Im ADD and the forgetting and being distracted enough to go onto the other side of the road can happen in extreme cases. For her ADD Id sugest a diet change or meds.
The mood swings however are not ADD related unless it has to do with anxiety. Anxiety is a symptom of ADD. Other than that she may have been misdiagnosed. Often people that are bipolar are classified as ADD. This is becasue they share some of the same characteristics. Other than that, it could just be because shes a girl and if shes young, its normal teenage mood issues.
