i find it very difficult to concentrate on things, even simple things like reading a book to important things like work etc. i was wondering if it was possible that this could be a condition and how do you find out if you suffer from it? is there a treatment for it?

It isn't something you outgrow. However if you are stressed in life your atention span suffers. keeping attention is a learned thing and the more you do it the better it gets.

yes according to my therapist, I found out I had it only a year and a half ago. I'm 33, so this really explains a lot of things. I have a great book called "Driven to Distraction" can't remember the author, but look it up at Borders and you will find it. It helped me. Good Luck

errr...
What were you saying??
Yes this problem happens. I suffer from it too. I need to quickly change things or do multiple things simultaneously otherwise I can't give the best of my concentration to whatever I am doing.

No, there is no possible way you could have ADD, if not diagnosed as a child, you are completely immune to all effects. In fact this is called youareadumbshititis. Please jump off of a cliff.
