You should make an appointment with a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists diagnose and treat problems of the mind. I think they are far more qualified than a PCP for this situation.

I do have a self-quiz in my bookmarks though. I'll look for it and get back to you.

That's from the Strattera website, so you know they're trying to sell it to you, but still- it at least lets you know the symptoms.

Thank you yaw ... it's funny that I saw this topic tonight. Not more than 3 days ago I saw an ad on TV about AADD, the woman's channel kept changing, and I mentioned to my daughter that she was just like me. OMG ... it was sooo strange to see something on TV that reminded me of my life.

I took the test yaw, the results are as expected. The test shows that I have the tendancies and should be seen by a health professional. Amazing that the commercial and this thread both caught my attention like this. I have struggled for 10 years thinking all adults 'switch channels' quickly all day!

Thanks again!
