I am a woman of middle age who never suspected I might have ADD until recently. Over the last 15 years I was diagnosed first with depression, then with anxiety. I was on SSRIs for years but have not been on anything for about the last 5 years. I thought I was doing pretty well until I went through menopause. Now the brain fog is so dense I’m having difficulties at work. I am a nurse and I’ve found myself making mistakes I never would have made a few years ago. In considering whether I might have ADD I realized that my inattentiveness was present even in childhood, but having a high IQ and a relatively good memory saved my butt over and over. Now the memory is shot. I, too, have seen information about fish oil for memory loss. But being the overly analytical perfectionist that I am, I have to research the best value for the money, considering the quality of the product (I don’t want any of those nasty toxins like mercury!). Any suggestions on a brand?
