Is this ADD?

Posted by Kari on July 19, 2002, at 10:12:32

Hi all,
Can a person suffer from latent ADD as a child and then suffer from severe concentration problems as an adult?
I have always felt restless and uneasy while attempting to concentrate in the past but have been very successful in school nevertheless. Over the years the problem has worsened and it is difficult for me to follow a conversation or read.
My mind is always racing with thoughts and there is constant "white noise" in the background as well as feelings of restlessness.
I also suffer from OCD and depression and don't know which symptoms to attribute to what.
Can OCD be masked ADD? And can slow thinking be caused by problems other than depression? ADs help my symptoms of anxiety and depression but not so much the concentration problems.
Thanks,
Kari.
