Everyone is different. You might have certain characteristics but not others. It's a matter of standing back and looking at the whole picture
Yes. ADHD awareness isn't really high in my country, and also other mental problems.

I've known since I was 6-7 yrs. old that I was ADD. I've been medicated, not medicated and now back on medication.

The best thing to do is get a support group of people who really want to be there for you. Also try reading self-help books and discovering what ADD is to you. I'm still learning what it means to me.
Thank you so much for the infos ! Are medications for ADD important? How if I don't get medications?
