Can other people always detect ADHD?

[BornToDiee]

My doctor gave me ADHD medication but never diagnosed me. I'm going crazy because I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm going back to the doctor in two weeks. Even though people don't think there's anything wrong with me, I see something wrong with me. I have never been diagnosed with ADHD before. But why is the doctor prescribing ADHD medication for me?

They can't. They can apparently notice something being off at certain times but they can't exactly know what it is.
Same goes with ASD.

Enjoy your Adderall, it's not as good as illegal speed but it's for free

I agree with you, plus there is non-habit forming ADHD medication such as Clonidine (Catapres)

Only if you really know what to look for.

My last boyfriend had ADHD and my home health nurse could tell right away that he had ADHD. If you've seen it enough times, most professionals can tell right away. You friends aren't ADHD professionals.

My wife is ADD. and I have a few friends that are ADHD. I'm not a professional, but my experience grants me what I need to see it.
