In reply to If it's not ADD then why do I ALWAYS SCREW up?, posted by Else on August 1, 2001, at 19:37:02
Else,
I think it's possible that attention problems can be secondary to mood or anxiety disorders. That doesn't necessarily mean that your attention will improve on antidepressants or anxiolytics, though (as you've discovered).
I don't think it's as hopeless as you seem to feel it is. You did say that your doctor is open to the idea of adult ADD. Did you have the same problems as a child?
