I really tried to watch through the video in its entirety, but as I soon found myself browsing through the comments and opening other web pages while the video kept on playing, I realized that maybe there might indeed be a problem.

damn. mad at myself for not focusing. it's only 2minutes for pete's sake.

I know one thing, no matter how much people explain what ADHD is, most people can never grasp what it is. People just dont get it. It sad but it is true

Researching, reading and listening, Finding maybe ADD or whatever can bring on stress, depression....etc....Just a thot....Know having hard time focusing, get distracted easily, jump from one subject to another...etc....Lose interest quickly But God is helping me with all, Thank you for sharing, Prayers Always, Power Of Prayer....this info does help understand all better so can deal with symptoms and know what to rule out or what can cause problems etc... :)

@462kitkat and he told me that aspergers is the more of the likley disorder that i posess so i was happy because i know i do have aspergers , but only a Pchyitrist (i don't know how to spell it sorry) can make an offical diagnoses so i went to a shrink and he said he has to do more tests but i more than likley have ADHD which pissed me off because i know and evreybody who knows me knows i have Aspergers.

@462kitkat ok was her ever misdiagnosed with anything else because i feel i have aspergers a lot of people i know think i have it because of my amazing memory and very poor socail skills, in 1995 at age 14 i was diagnosed with Obsessive Compolsive Disorrder, then when i was 17 a friend of mine looked up Aspergers online and found that i have very same characteristics, i did very poorly in school and they say aspies are highly intelligent and i recemtly started going to a phycoligist

[462kitkat]

@romans52345 No, very poorly actually. Why?

I've been diagnosed by 3 different people and they think I have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder), but when I read current book on adult ADD - OMG - I'm positive I have it, I have sooooooooo many of the symptons. What I'd like to know is: with depression, stress, and GAD having so many similar/the same symptoms --- then how in the heck does ANY doctor or therapist know you have adult ADD??? You might as well give up and just say: :You have 1) depression 2) stress 3)GAD 4) ADD. Good luck!
