Very possible: The dx of ADHD or ADD is really not difficult to make...I narrow it down to 5-6 questions....Difficulty in focusing, easy distractibility , inability to complete one task before proceeding with another, re-reading a page multiple times, excessive misplacing, school issues like procrastinating doing assignments or studying for an exam at the last moment..also, a very strong family history of ADD...

ADHD?: Please start by seeing your family doctor. Then consider seeing a clinical psychologist who specializes in ADHD. Medication MAY play a part in helping but please consider modalities such as neurofeedback/biofeedback, clinical hypnosis (www.asch.net), yoga, seeing a nutritionist, etc. Peace and good health.
