How do I find out if I have ADD or ADHD?
There’s no one test. Instead, doctors and psychologists get information about what and how many symptoms you have, when they started, how long they’ve lasted, and how severe they are. In order to be diagnosed with ADHD, you need to have several symptoms, not just one or two.
How a person with ADHD thinks?
People with ADHD are both mystified and frustrated by secrets of the ADHD brain, namely the intermittent ability to be super-focused when interested, and challenged and unable to start and sustain projects that are personally boring. It is not that they don’t want to accomplish things or are unable to do the task.
