Re: when is it too late to do start therapy for ADD??

[Anonymous]

I am 68 and wondered the same thing: is it too late. But I have decided I have to get some help because I, too, am getting worse. Earlier in my life, I functioned pretty well because my “plate was full” raising six kids and then later, teaching. I had to do what I had to do. It took me much longer than other people to prepare lessons etc, but I managed.

However, now that I have more free time, I’m a total disaster!!! My house is beginning to look like something off “Hoarders” and, as much as I try, I can’t seem to make any headway cleaning it up.

Is my family doctor where I should go first. I live in a rural area with no psychiatrist within 50 miles and even then, there are only 3 half time psychiatrists in that small city. My doctor and I have disagreed about a lot of things lately and I’m not sure he will take me seriously. Any advice for me?
