Hi everyone I am new and I haven’t been diagnosed, but my mother has ADD and depression. I seem to have the same problems as well. I can’t concentrate on the tasks, like reading a book, work, school, etc. I can’t remember simple things, my sort term memory is lacking greatly. I have struggled for years since I was a kid. I had received my B.A. and I still feel worthless because I forget the simplest things. My husband doesn’t understand the way I am, he thinks if I try harder or pay attention more etc. that I can get better. It is not that I am unintelligent; it is the fact that my mind is moving in 20 different directions at one time. I used to use Prozac, it helped with the confusion and depression, but it made me a zombie. I need to go to a doctor, but what kind of doctor can diagnose me and how does it work? Can anyone tell me what has worked for them in the past for depression, and ADD? I have worked for years on improving myself and I think I am at a point in my life that I need some help. It is very hard to give myself motivation anymore; I have to try twice as hard as anyone else to keep my mind on a task. I also get confused and depressed for no reason and it is getting worse. Now that I have been married for a little over a year and life kicked in a little harder I just need some extra help… Can anyone give me any advise or steer me towards someone who can help me?
