Might i have ADD?
I have always been told i swtich off. I can't finish anything i start, no matter how much i want to. I have to be on the move all the time. I rarely sit down and watch TV as i have to go off and do something. The only time i really sit still is when i am very ill.
I suffer from depression and have been on medication for 8 years.
My life is being affected by this and i need help.
I will ask the doctor about this if people think that i might have it. I don't want to go into the doctors rattling off all this for them to say "your mad"
Please, tell me what you think...

Don't get me wrong. I am changing my antidepressants as they arn't very good for me, but this is not the cause as i had this first.

you could. but what your describing is almost a little bit more like ADHD (which it doesnt matter cos its treated with the same pills) but the fact that you cant sit still would be a little more adhd, where as someone with add could sit still looking out the window for hours instead of listening to a teacher lecture. I think you should go see the doctor. worse comes to worse he says hes not sure you need meds or treatment. he wont tell you your mad....and plus, its better to take the iniciative before you find its running your life. good luck

Sounds more like ADHD rather than ADD . Not too much difference except with ADHD you are always resless and thinking about something else rather than what's infront of you . There is hope . Pretty sure I have ADHD but I am too old to have been diagnoised with it. I'm 48 and lived with it this long so I compenesated for some of my difficulties . The best thing I could possibly pass on to ouy is accept yourself and move forward and realize everyone has different problems. Good luck.

If you cannot sit still you do not have ADD but you might have ADHD. If you think this might be what you have then ask your doc to refer you to a clinic that tests for these things.

Strange how no one ever questions their medication but rather always have to have some worse ailment...
Hold on to those pills for dear life and never question them... It HAS to be yet another condition right?
It's a shame if you ask me, but whatever...
