I was diagnosed PTSD 9 years ago but during the therapy for that, it was determined that I've been suffering with mild depression for many more years along with several severe depression episodes. I took the "quiz" that is linked to this site and came up with an 86. I was as objective as I could be and took into consideration my lifelong behavior when applicable. Is it likely that I really do have ADD? (sheesh, it sure feels like it in my head)

I've been taking the SSRI Paroxetine HCL (Paxil) for all of these 9 years. I know that I need to have the ADD diagnosis confirmed. I'm just looking for information regarding the likelihood of the two conditions coexisting and what treatment would be warrented given my use of Paxil (generic).

Thanks for any responses.
