Suggest Treatment For Adult ADD

I have recently been informed that I might have Adult ADD by my peers. I didn t really think about it too much, except I think they might be right. I am unorganized, often unable to concentrate for long periods of time, unable to listen to long conversations, and low on self esteem. Im not sure I am hyperactive, but I definitely feel I have ADD through the symptoms subscribed to me. What steps would I need to take to find out if I can get medical help for this supposed ailment?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns.

I went through your details. I suggest you to keep calm. Please do not trust your friends' guidance in this regard. From the symptoms given, ADD is a long shot. Low concentration level could be due to loss of interest and confusion. People are normally unorgnized when there is no real compulsion. Low self esteem could be due to loss of interest level and disappointment. Introspect yourself about disappointments that happened in the recent past. If you want to have correct diagnosis please undergo a psychological test for ADHD. No self diagnosis and worries. Ignore for now.

In case if you need more of my services in this regard, please post a direct query. I am happy to reply you.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
