What do you think about this possible diagnosis? I haven't talked to anyone about this yet.

Read the article you linked. Hmmm, that doesn't sound like me.

You might ask your health care professional specifically why he thinks that you have ADD.

Well, this was a government shrink and i won't see him again. It was for an SSI interview.

Oh and he said ADHD, not ADD. I am not clear on the difference.

Sometimes they are used interchangeably. ADD/ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Kind of like Jill/Jilly.

Since my site is called Attention Deficit Disorder, that's what I usually use. ADD can be primarily (predominantly) inattentive, primarily hyperactive, or combined type.

Primarily inattentive means that people have trouble focusing and sustaining attention.
Primarily hyperactive-impulsive means that people have difficulty staying still or quiet. They move a lot and talk a lot. Also, they are impulsive and can interrupt quite a bit.
Combined type means that they have a bit of many symptoms-some intattentive and some hyperactive/impulsive.

Here's a great site that explains it in detail.

There are many more ways to live well with ADD. We'll explore more of them this week.
