I have never been formally tested for it...well thinking back, in 2008 I did have psychological testing done, not sure if they tested for that.

But I have a mom who is a nurse (currently school nurse.) She said that it has to be persistent for it to be ADHD. Since my concentration has come and gone in the last 10 years since my onset, most of the time was spent with good concentration, she doesn't think I have it.

My therapist of 7 years doesn't think I have it.

It has been tied to antidepressants, in the past. So I got off of them several months ago thinking my concentration would return, but it never did.
