I can't study, or do homework for too long. I get distracted with my own thoughts and will focuss my attention on anything else till I'm bored then I'll go back to to H/W or studying untill it happens all over again.

I'm 20 years old and I dont take ridalin, why wasn't this brought to a doctor's attention? I guess I wasn't as eccentric as the kids with HDD when I was younger. But still

ADD tends to be not all that noticable, and it s often confused with just having a short attention span.

Do you want someone to give you a serious answer? Because, imo, I don't think a gamerforum is the right place to ask.

OT: You grew up in a bad neightbourhood probably

Comparing myself to you, I have a hell of a case of ADD. But I won't get prescribed ritalin becauseof my drug abuse history. It pisses me off.

Because you can't be diagnosed by your family doctor. It has to be a "specialized" doctor in that field of medicine.

I don't understand how people are diagnosed with that. It seems like anyone could have it.
