Hey everyone.
I'm 15 and female and I have OCD, depression and psychosis, and I'm wondering if you think the following symptoms could be related to ADD? I know I can't be diagnosed online, I just wanted some opinions.

I have been a daydreamer for my whole life. I find it very difficult to focus and concentrate on tasks at school unless I find it interesting, and so I rarely get them finished. I've lost all motivation and I always find my mind wandering and my thoughts racing, so it's hard to get a hold of them and just sit and do something. When I say daydreams I mean completely zone out for long periods of times (sometimes hours). I can't focus enough to do my work unless it really interests me.

I can read text over and over again but it doesn't sink in. I can't usually concentrate well unless it's very interesting or set out in a certain way (not loads of small text with no spaces).

People around me tell me I have a very short temper and I'm very irritable. I've always been sensitive and upset by things others would think are trivial or minor, but to me they are huge.

I can be impulsive and say things before I think...and then I later regret saying them. I also can't wait my turn in groups and I find it very difficult to make friends. They either think I'm too annoying or I just don't 'click' with them.

I have to always move. I have to bounce my leg up and down or rub my hands together or click my fingers and just do something to keep moving.

My moods go from very high to very low and I am offended quite easily (I still try to come across as strong though).

I have great trouble planning what order to do tasks in, and end up never finishing many of them (I can take on too much) and I'm a perfectionist.

It feels like there is a TV on in my head all the time and my thoughts race constantly. This worries me because I am very disorganised (thinking and behaviour) and there is lots of chatter in my head. My mind becomes so cluttered that it's hard to stay focused and I just cannot stop daydreaming (I've tried everything). My thoughts also jump around a lot.

I took the quiz on here and scored 111. Do you personally think this could be ADD?
