hello,
Welcome To Health Care Magic.
ADD OR Attention Deficit Disorder is mainly charecterised by inattention, easy distractibility, disorganization,forgetfullness,lethargy-fatigue,sluggishness,drowsiness and day dreaming.
First of all i would like to ask you is this the case with you?Are you making careless mistakes,have difficulty in concentrating,find organizing your work difficult.Than its better to go to a neurologist than relying on your friends words and coming to any conclusions.
Some medications along with behavioural theraphy will prove helpful.but a doctor first.
Take care.

Hello, welcome to HCM. The characteristic features of ADD/ADHD are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are the key behaviors of ADHD. You must not get concerned by saying of your friend. You must visit a psychiatrist to get yourself evaluated and only after that you should think anything about it further. Wish you good health.
