I got my diagnosis for ADD, Anxiety Disorder (OCD) and Clinical Depression from a regular doctor (family physician).

He prescribed some meds too :

1 Tablet Serta (which is Zoloft basically) (50 mg) every morning for 15 days

1 Tablet Clonil (generic name : Clomipramine) (10 mg) 1 every night for 15 days

And apart from these, he gave some kind of homeopathic pills. I don't know what exactly the chemical is.

Please note that I'm from India and people have just started becoming aware of these mental illnesses.
This doctor is a renowned physician in my city. I googled the names of both the meds and they both seem to be pills for Anxiety Disorder, Depression and OCD. But my biggest problem in life is ADD. I want medication for ADD. Should I consult a specialist (psychiatrist)? Or should I continue with this doctor? He has just prescribed the above
mentioned pills for 15 days. Maybe his plan is to take care of ADD later on?

Please post your thoughts and opinions.
