I don't really have a handle on what I need to do with my life. I am 22, almost 23, I am unemployed and I really have no plans for the future. I have recently taken some online tests for ADD and ADHD and I think I am not so hyper as I am unable to concentrate on any one task for a long period of time. Mundane tasks that are easy, like computer work at a job, will cause me to get out of my chair and pace. I can't read a book without my mind wandering. I will turn the page of a book and only remember what I was thinking not the words on the page. Sorry for rambling, I really want information on the best person to talk to about this situation I'm in. A doctor, Psychiatrist, who? Will medication help me get a job? Will medication help me keep a job? What should I do first see a doc or get a job, please help. Also I am trying to quit drinking, and now do so only occasionally. Is it common to drink a lot with people who have ADD?
