Viridis,
Cool information, thanks for responding. Do you, by chance, live in New York City? There is a place I got treated at (briefly) that was really enthusiastic about that neurofeedback or brainwave type of stuff. The place you described sounded just like that place.
You mentioned that you tried CBT, and that interested me. How did that work for you? CBT was, and continues to be one of my mainstays of treatment. I bet a lot of the behavioral techniques could be quite helpful for the procrastination and task-orientation problems that so often accompany ADD. Whatever their origin, I experience ADD symptoms to a much greater degree when depressed or anxious, and CBT seems to help alleviate this.
Did you ever suspect that you had ADD prior to your therapist suggesting it?
True, seems like we do have very similar symptom patterns, as well as life histories.
Take care,
Matt
