I'm a freshman in college, and I just find it impossible to pay attention in class or study. I used to be able to do this fine in high school..up until around junior year or so. I find myself day dreaming about something else, and then realize..oh shit, I just missed everything this teacher is saying. This happens every day. I know I can get myself tested..but wonder what you guys think.

Just kidding, (I know it's not a matter to joke about but I couldn't help it). The only way to know is to get tests. 54 depressedfreak Posted at 8:23 pm on Nov. 26, 2008 If you wanna check if you have ADD or whatever, get your hands on some Adderall or 54mg methlyenidate (Ritalin). If you get a high and have alot of energy and feel the need to want more, you probably don't have ADD. I take Adderall, but it slows my thought processes down enough so that Ican do what needs to be done (i.e. homework, reading, etc.) Catacomb Posted at 12:19 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 Quote: from Rabgix at 1:04 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 The test for it is bullshit. because ADD is bullshit fezzy Posted at 7:36 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Go to a psychiatrist. See what he says. Remember I said psychIARist, not psychOLOGist. nikki Posted at 6:25 am on Nov. 18, 2008 It's just a lack of concentration - drink less caffeine and cut down on the sugar and you'll be fine.

You are subconsciously wanting to know your new peers." womendontlikeme Posted at 6:03 am on Nov. 17, 2008 ADD is a psychological thing (like many other labels) You only have it if you believe you have it. (Its all in your mind) I used to have problems focusing because I believed I had it. Now I have no problems focusing, because I no longer believe that I have it. People that "believe" they have something wrong with them, will have something wrong with them, because they believe that they do. xXsarafersureXx Posted at 6:20 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 the test is so much money to tell you OH YOU HAVE ADD. well, guess what with out the test, you probably do. liv21 Posted at 6:12 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 6:07 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 Its not something you can fix yourself, its because you dont get enough dopamine to your brain.. Look up neuroplasticity.  Studies suggest you CAN fix these things yourself. In my opinion, medication is usually not a good answer because your brain will not only never correct itself, but there will never be any need for it to.  Drugs like that are a crutch for the brain.

See your doctor for a diagnosis? Anonymous Posted at 6:06 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 Quote: from liv21 at 6:05 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 Well, what good would that do if you got yourself tested? Even if you were diagnosed with ADD? You're aware that you're daydreaming, so just try to fix it yourself. They put you on medication.. liv21 Posted at 6:05 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 Well, what good would that do if you got yourself tested?  Even if you were diagnosed with ADD?  You're aware that you're daydreaming, so just try to fix it yourself.
