Dear sir /Madam
I am Dipak Gandhi from India. It was 3 years back that I knew of ADHD for the first from a article published in Reader’s Digest.
Then I realized that my son (now,10 years old, studying in 5th std.) shows almost all the symptoms for ADHD mentioned in the article. I took him to pediatric,and he counseled us .I feel that his hyper activity has come down (by a very small margin),but his inattention continues. This is hindering his performance in class. Can you help me, please?
Ever since I knew of ADHD I keep reading about it on net for the sake of my son. And after all this reading I now realize that I myself (now 41 years old) have been the biggest sufferer of this ADHD. The symptoms of ADHD were in me since childhood. But being from rural family and having no knowledge of ADHD , I went untreated for this till today. As I grew up, other problems like continuous anxiety, depression, day-dreaming, isolated life from society(I have not a single friend, which is considered taboo here in our society) developed into me. I experienced a terrific depression during my short tenure in job (for 3 years) and I had to leave the Job as I was incapable of doing anything. Although my depression problem subsided to some extent, the day dreaming ,ADHD (newly realized) and cutoff social life continue to make my career (now in business ) and life miserable. Can you be of help to me?
Thanking You
Yours
Dipak Gandhi
Posted by Dipak Gandhi | February 9, 2012, 4:56 pmhi, thinking of coming to the manchester support group. Could you tell me how many people attend and what age groups? Feel like i need help and wanna know for sure if this is a condition i have. Are there any specialists in manchester that can prescribe the medication if deemed with the condition. I hear most doctors are sceptical. Many thanks,
Kind regards
Gavin
