Do i have add/adhd????

I constantly think but most of the time its thinking of something that had already happened even if it was a couple of days ago. I jump into everyone else's conversations just because i have to say what i have to say at the moment or i'll get mad/frustrated. If i'm sitting down or even laying down i'm constantly moving my legs. People look at me weird because when i'm sitting down my leg is going up and down at high speed and people ask me why i do it and i say because it is comfortable and makes me relaxed. I'm not intrested in watching t.v/movie's because i can't pay attention long enough to understand it, I'm always off in some other world just constantly thinking.

If someone's talking to me i drift off and pretty much ignore them even though i'm not trying to, but either something else draws my attention, or i'm just off day dreaming. And i don't like it because people get really frustrated with me when they try to tell me something and to them it feels like i'm not even there. I get mad very easily even if its something very stupid, I still get mad. Can someone tell me if i do have add/adhd or not? It would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

Some of what you describe is consistent with ADHD, though it could also be related to other issues, a different diagnosis, effects of medications or substances, physical health, boredom, etc. There are specific criteria for diagnosing ADHD, and this should be done by your doctor or a professional trained in ADHD assessment.

Pretty much everyone experiences times when they find it hard to concentrate, complete tasks, and/or sit still. What makes symptoms reach the level of ADHD is if they occur in more than one domain, i.e. home, social, work, school, leisure, etc., and if they cause clinically significant distress or impairment of function for the person.

If you are finding that the symptoms you mention are causing problems in living for you, I encourage you to see your doctor, or preferably a psychologist or psychiatrist specializing in ADHD for an assessment.

Good luck,
