Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am currently pursuing nursing, however, there is this one thing that hinders me. As we all know, skills are essential in the field of medicine but whenever there are instructions that are given, I have difficulty in comprehending and understanding it. I lose my focus whenever there is an instruction on how to do this and that. I researched my situation and came up with that perhaps I have ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). I just want to know if I have ADHD. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello

welcome to iclniq.com.

I can understand your concern. The challenges regarding comprehending and understanding can be frustrating and hinder your progress, but it is important to remember that you are not alone. Many individuals face similar obstacles, and with appropriate support and strategies, you can still achieve your goals in the field of medicine. While attention difficulties are a common symptom of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), they can also be associated with other conditions like anxiety, depression, or learning disabilities. A comprehensive evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a physician or a mental health specialist, can help determine the underlying cause of your challenges. This assessment may include a medical history review, cognitive and emotional assessments, and potentially additional tests or screenings.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
