What are the symptoms of ADD in teens?

Are these symptoms of add?..??.?

• I can't follow simple directions someone tells me I listen then after 15 seconds i can no longer comprehend what they say as if they are speaking another language!! Also I can't stay focused that long with out drifting away...I was diagnosed as a child w/ ADD and was put in meds. I am now 23 and have new signs I park my car come out of the store and have NO idea where i parked. I don't pay attention to things like that....while all my other friends don't seem to have this issue also i am CONSTANTLY losing things. I lose my keys after 20 mins of searching I find them then when i am ready to leave i will MISPLACE them again!! I know the first symptoms i listed are add but what bout misplacing things/not paying attention to where i park?

• Answer:

  Yes i have had your symptoms. In my case, autoimmune pernicious anaemia (unable to absorb vitamin B12). Highly recommended to try sublingual (under the tongue) B12 and chelated magnesium to start with and see how you go. "Can't find your keys? Mood swings? Brain fog? Or is just age? These lapses in memory can cause grave concern- but could it really be something simple? 40% of Americans are Vitamin B12 deficient...don't be one of them! >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QP5NjaFjPo You may have brain fog if you are experiencing any of these symptoms: Loss of mental acuity Forgetfulness – decreased short-term memory A feeling of spaciness and inability to think clearly A feeling that you’re in a fog or a dark cloud is over your head Decreased attention span Mild depression and/or anxiety Lack of spatial awareness Brain fog may be the result of: *Adrenal fatigue syndrome *Insomnia / sleep deprivation *Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) *Nutritional deficiencies – Deficiencies of magnesium, vitamin B-12, and amino acids can cause significant brain impairment such as lack of concentration, short-term memory loss, attention deficit, and spaciness (or lack of focus) *Candidiasis *Disorders such as fibromyalgia or multiple sclerosis (MS) *Chronic viral infections such as Epstein-Barr, Lyme disease, hepatitis, cytomegalovirus *Parasitic organisms found in the brain *Heavy metal toxicity *Reduced blood flow to the brain due to circulatory problems *Overuse of artificial sweeteners and MSG *Allergies and food intolerances such as to gluten and lactose *Leaky gut syndrome *Side effects of prescription and over-the-counter medications *Constipation *Menopause *Sick building syndrome (fumes from new carpets, paints, insulation, chipboard, wood treatments, pesticides, carbon monoxide, poor ventilation) http://www.jigsawhealth.com/resources/brain-fog-causes
