i have never been tested for ADD or ADHD, but i have read some of the symptoms on web-sites or heard them on television. i would like to know what your symptoms are and what you experiance throughout the day. i would like to ask my doctor to be tested, but i dont want to sound foolish...i really have a problem concentrating on a conversation that i am having. i almost rear-end people while driving b/c i am constantly looking around at my surroundings. i am useless at talking on the phone for business purposes (i forget why i called and/or what questions that i was going to ask). are these some signs of ADD or am i just crazy and need to be instatutionalized? thanks in advance for all of your answers! and please dont leave links to web-sites. thanks

If people have told you that you're totally disorganized, if you never finish anything you start, if you go outside to work in the garden and forget you had supper in the oven, if you have to make lists to remember who to call back, if you start dusting in one room and wind up straightening your books in another room while deciding that maybe it's also a good time to do a load of laundry, if you're always late even if if you get up at 4 a.m.,,...sound familiar yet?
If so, good luck to you!! :-)

My 10 year old daughter is ADHD. You could possibly have ADHD. I think I have it sometimes too. I have a hard time concentrating on work, I day dream alot. You should talk to your doctor about it.

I havent been tested with it or i know that i dont suffer from it. I suffer from OCD. I do know someone who suffers from it. That person seems to get angry really quick and stuff like that. It is really nice that you want to help out. LOL, asking your doctor to be tested out is a bad idea! I dont think you are crazy at all, i think you should get yourself tested, see if you have it or not, easy way to see if you have it or not. Dont want to sound mean here but that is the only way to see if you do. I know it could be embarrassing.. But im willing to go to the doctor in the future and get myself tested.

I have ADD and I was diagnosed at age 3 and I havent taken meds and I don't get hyper mine was a mild case of ADD so I was able to deal with it. You don't need to be institutionalized you can deal with it through medication and proper therapy.
