I like DJ's list of attributes. Sometimes when starting an antidepressant, I wonder If I was really depressed in the first place (b/c most are pretty effective for me, that is). Looking at your list, I can check off nearly all of them off, and glad I am getting treatment.
Lately, I've been thinking my inability to concentrate and follow conversations may be ADD rather than depression/anxiety. I immediately block out what is being said and start to obsess about how I will properly respond. I am a writer, but hate writing because of the concentration and organization it requires. I often stop mid-sentence and stare off into space, unable to finish.
sound like ADD? I didn't have problems with schoolwork until college, but my step mom always insisted I was hyperactive. Is there a good test for an adult? I know amphetamines (coffee, cocaine)seem to bring my thoughts together. A clue perhaps??
