How do i know if i have add (attention deficit disorder)?

ADHD is...: Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. The sx's vary but the core sxs are distractibility, attention wandering, poor organization, inability to sit still etc. You'll need to take a test and go through a dx interview to do this right. Here's a link to do it yourself: http://www.psychologyproductsandservices.com/adhd.html

You need an: evaluation by a mental health professional who specializes in this. Your family doc would be a good start but don't stop there. W/accurate diagnosis you can get proper treatment. Many adults have ADD and treatment and understanding helps. Peace and good health.

See MD: It is difficult to just say attention deficit when one is hyperactive. I was always hyperactive as a child, can't wait for my classmates to say their lines in plays and i say them sometimes, always moving, but i was always an excellent student otherwise. If i were treated i may not be talking to you today. See your doctor and discuss your problems but please say the problems, not what they want.
