I was diagnosed with ADD this year I pretty much diagnosed myself. My signs were:

Problems focusing
Low attention spam
Disorganization

in ADHD (which I only have mildly)

Hyperactivity...yeah i forget the rest..

add
hard to focus cant stay in one place for a while
and always annoying....

Impulsive behavior, inability to stick with one task, lack of organization, inability to concentrate with any outside stimulus apparent (like tv)

ADD stands for attention deficiency disorder, which basically means that u hav a very short attention span, and it can threaten schoolwork, a job, and just being able to stay still ot do one thing for a while. my brother has add, he takes zoloft.

Check out this website. I just took the test tonight after I saw the shrink for the first time today. He said i might be ADD.
So i took this test and it says i am likely ADD.
Good Luck!
