Do I have ADD? (please help)?


Question:
I was an excellent student all my life. Then an excellent worker. However now it is so hard for me to concentrate. While studying/reading I get really anxious and cannot concentrate. I get up 10 times, cannot sit and read. Also I have a terrible memory for what I read. I suffer from depression. I was wondering is this is a symptom of depression or it´s ADD?? since I had these symptoms before having depression

Answers:
symptoms of depression include:
-lack of motivation
-restlessness
-poor concentration

you're probably just experiencing these sort of symptoms of depression, even if you didn't before. You're symptoms typically change from time to time so do let it get to you
Go this website. It's an excellent resource for ADD.

There is a checklist of symptoms and tons of resources. If you're depressed you should definitely see your doctor.
Good luck.
the whole note concentrating thing seems like ADD and the restlessness but i would ask a doctor to be sure - you don't want to take any risk with depression
- i hope things work out for you
