A member asked:
I cant focus for more than a couple seconds & i jump from unfinished task to a new task all the time. would it be possibly considered adhd?

Maybe/not: A person functions best when they are in good health, get adequate restorative sleep, are properly nourished and in a comfortable environment. I have difficulty accepting that an adult would be ADHD without being one in childhood. It might happen, but it would be important to go though an evaluation to exclude other correctable issues before accepting that label.
