I agree with Karen. My experience was similar in that for years I thought it was only depression and anxiety and I knew very little about ADD until my kids came along. In researching it for myself I had to go back through old school records to find the tell-tale evidence. ADD does not come on in adulthood. But depression and anxiety symptoms closely mimic those of ADD.ADs and stimulants are often used together these days as you will read here. I think if you are having memory and concentration problems, some of the same things that work for ADD could work for you too.
