About 8 years ago I was tested for ADD (I'm 53 now) and was told no, you're just very, very depressed. I didn't believe it then, and I don't believe it now. My husband and I both believe that I have ADD. (I was tested by a NeuroPsychologist who administered tests in a quiet office. Of course I passed those tests, I'm not stupid and I was very focused and determined to show this guy my stuff.) But, in my life, I can't organize, I can't prioritize, I can't figure out what order things should be done in. My mind is literally spinning in circles most of the time as I try to figure out what to do when. So I do a load of laundry. I feel like a tornado that occasionally spits out a piece of productivity. I'm not hyper-active, rather the opposite, except for that I've got a pretty strong case of RLS and I'm wondering if the two are connected. Has this been studied? I have to take Gabapentin (the generic for something else--basically a sleeping pill) in order to sleep at night.
