Sounds like you may have the inattentive subtype of ADD. Take the “Virtual Doctor” diagnostic test on this website. Then take the results with you when you go to see your doctor to discuss it, and ask for a referral to a psychiatrist WHO SPECIALIZES IN ADD. This is very important. If you just ask for a referral to a psychiatrist, you run the risk of being sent to a psychiatrist who doesn’t believe in ADD. Unfortunately, there are a lot of those around, as we can find out here: http://totallyadd.com/forum/topic.php?id=181
As one specialist says in the film “ADD…and Loving It”, so much more is known about ADD today, that what they were teaching about it in medical schools even 10 years ago, would today be considered malpractice. When you think of how many doctors who graduated medical school back then, are practising now and may not have updated their knowledge on the subject, you can see why you need to request an ADD specialist.
