Crazycat just described ADHD, not ADD. They are similar, but different at the same time. My sister had ADD, she had a very hard time concentrating in class. She would be given an assignment, and end up daydreaming about what she would do after school.

Its most pronounced symptom is a complete inability to keep your mind on a single subject for a decent amount of time. If you start projects and only half finish them, or are extremely messy (books all over, clothes all over, etc.), are also signs of this affliction.

ADD should be diagnosed by a trained professional such as your school's psychologist. You can make a self-referral or ask your teacher or parent to refer you to a psychologist. I would not recommend getting a diagnosis from a medical doctor. In general medical doctors just prescribe drugs without doing the testing first or trying behavioral interventions. If it is determined that medication is needed, then you will need to see a medical doctor.

Children are easy to diagnose..they have no attention span. And
they are very figgity, can't sit still. Lack of concentration. They
cause a disruption in class, big time. I was a teachers aid to one
of those kids. When they gave him his meds he was much better
But you are older,...so.. You may have a hard time sticking to one
thing. Easily distracted...hyper alot. Fing it hard to stay still..or
"settle down" for long. U might talk to much...to where u annoy
peeps. But, If you don't feel u have these things,..don't worry
about it. But if any of these things are bothersome to u..by all
means..go get a check up. Good Luck.

A lot of children are misdignosed with ADD... what they usually have is a behavior conduct problem. Needs discipline and focus. Not pills.
