Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I am a 19 year old male college student. I feel that there is a strong possibility that I have ADHD. I am seeing a psychiatric nurse practitioner next month, but would like to know if the possibility is likely or not. My whole like I have always felt like my brain moves 10x faster than everyone else. I am always talking, thinking, or doing. In high school it was extremely difficult to concentrate in class, and now that I am in college it has only gotten worse. I did have speech issues when I was younger, as I was unable to pronounce certain sounds such as f . I also went through my elementary school report cards and found the teachers notes to comment on how they wished I would pay more attention in class. Now here is that last part that makes me think I might not have ADHD, I am a very good test-taker. During my first year of college, I missed a majority of my classes, but was able to teach myself the material THE NIGHT BEFORE the exam and somehow balance a 4.0 GPA. Opinions?
[|AI|]  Dear, Welcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. You are already 19. Childhood ADHD most problem would have cleared by the time you reach the age of 15 or so. Adolescent ADHD usually do not have the problem of notable hyperactivity. But lacks concentration. Adult ADHD is also almost certainly lack concentration but without notable hyperactivity. The symptoms you gave here do points towards ADHD, but these cannot be taken into consideration fully. Mainly because there could be a bias in your symptom list. Once you think that you have ADHD, your version of symptom list will naturally have ADHD bias. Therefore, I suggest not to overly worry about the present symptoms. Consult a psychologist. Provide him all those symptoms you are facing. Please do not exaggerate or be biased towards ADHD. Let the psychologist assess your psychological disorder.
