Can you be diagnosed with ADD in your 20's?

Question: I am always really hyper and find it hard to sit still sometimes. I feel anxious when I'm at work cos I can't wait to get out and do somthing. But maybe that's just cos it's a Friday afternoon?

Answers:
Don't try to diagnose yourself. The symptoms you describe could be ADD or anxiety or mania or hyperactive thyroid or a sign that you are in the wrong kind of job....See your doctor and ask for a psychiatric evaluation after all physical possibilities have been tested for.
