How do you know if you have Adult ADD or ADHD? And what can be done?


I often feel like my life is out of control, but I feel like I'm always struggling to get it IN control. I have two kids and a new marriage. I'm always running late in the mornings, always feel disorganized, and become VERY overwhelmed when, for example, I need to pack up the house so I can move in with my husband. It's like something heavy is pulling me down inside, and I can't do any of it. I was reading an article on adult adhd/add, and wonder if I have this. I do suffer from anxiety and depression and take Zoloft for it. The article I was reading says that women with adult add are often diagnosed as depressed. Could this be me? Please help!

Any real life experiences or suggestions would help out tremendously.

If need be, by all means go and see a doctor. Its best to err on the side of caution. See what the doctor says and take it from there - one step at a time.
