I believe I did have ADD when I was a child. No one ever told me, but I was disruptive and I failed the second grade. It went untreated, but I figured that it just "went away" when my grades improved greatly in high school. I graduated with honors, but I had to put a great deal of effort into my studying because I could not absorb info as well as other people. I do suffer from depression, however.
In the 3rd grade I would have some people pull me from class and observe me as I played with some toy soldiers and dinosaurs. I still don't know what the purpose of that was.
In the 4th grade I was put to sit in the back of the room, near the sink, and apart from the rest of the students.
Does this sound like it might have been ADD. Should I seek some kind of help? I am already on Lexapro (since last Wednesday).
