Hi i have been feeling very brain foggy and unfocused for the past 4-5 years? recently i can not focused and am very easily distracted because of the work in college. i think i have add. what to do?

Discuss Problem: I think should discuss your problem with your physician and perhaps a referral to a specialist for definitive diagnosis.

Reasons 4 distract'n: Many things in life r distracting. Not all of them r add. Anxiety, depression, family problems, trying to do more than is humanly possible, all can cause loss of focus. We are told we shd be able to "multitask, " but we can't. The term comes from computers, ; they can't without more than 1 processor. We only get 1 processor. Get an evaluation w/ a therapist who is not already convinced it's add.

Good Attention: If you've been unfocused for the past 4-5 years you should be congratulated on making it to college! you are finding a resource in yourself that is working. I agree with the other doctors that you need an unbiased psychiatric evaluation. If you need adhd treatment, there is no shame in that. In any case, it sounds like you need more individual attention. Best wishes to you.
