In order to make a diagnosis of ADHD you must go to a trained doctor who is aware of how to detect it. A lot of the symptoms that people get with ADHD are parts of other diseases and disorders.

Some people believe that ADHD is more of a problem with the mind that you just have to learn to get over. While there is usually mental issues that go along with having ADHD it isn't a disease you can just decide to get over one day.

Some common symptoms of ADHD include:

Memory loss and forgetting where you put something or what exactly a page in a book said. This hurts school kids a lot when they forget what they studied for a test.

Being very hyper and not being able to sit still or be quiet.

Not listening to a speaker or ignoring someone when they are trying to talk with you.

One cure to ADHD is to be on a good diet. Being in shape and healthy will help keep you from being effected as much by ADHD and can help prevent it before it starts. There are also a lot of various drugs that can be taken that are made specifically to treat ADHD patients.

Another interesting cure is one on one coaching. Someone will help talk the patient through their life and help them overcome the obstacles that the ADHD throws in their way.

If you know someone who has ADHD recommend that they get it treated as soon as possible. While the disease usually doesn't kill people it can greatly disrupt normal living and make life miserable for the person with ADHD.
