> My pharmocologist introduced a thought that intrigues me. He said he thinks I have ADHD.
I have thought about this a lot in the past week or so, and have decided that there is not much to support the idea that I have ADHD. A lot of the symptoms I have had at various points in my life point more in the directio of anxiety and depression. In kids, especially, there are many symptoms that can suggest ADHD but can also be caused by anxiety/depression. Probably, these distinctions in diagnosis are unnecessary for most people, anyway, since different illnesses can disable the functioning of the same parts of the brain, same neurotransmitters, etc.
