Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)/Do I have add?
Expert: Dr Billy Levin - 4/24/2008
QuestionWell, I've always though I did because I'm very easily distracted I can be alone and still not be able to do my intended task. I could look out a window for hours and just look into... Nothing. I cannot focus on a task for more than 5 or 10 min before looking around or just not working all together. All of my teaches get frustrated because It's almost impossible for me to pay attention.
AnswerFrom your description, even without examining you I would say yes, you do have ADD. The fact that your teachers complain and the situation is affecting your work would make it worth while consulting with a doctor who treats ADD with a view to going on a trial of stimulant medication to see if you respond to the treatment.
