In reply to BROWN ATTENTION-ACTIVATION DISORDER (BAAD) SCALE, posted by S.D. on July 15, 2000, at 19:51:42
As I read the items in this scale, though, I am aware of how much overlap there is with anxiety and depression. I think that many of these symptoms could be attributed to anxiety or depression.
Keep in mind, too, tho, that the dx of add (considered a developmental disorder) means signs appearing prior to age 7.
Not that it means that if I have these symptoms due to my anxiety and depression I don't have a problem with attention deficit. I think that the brain process might be similar. Someday we'll find out, I am sure. And often, the therapeutic approach, both medical and psychological, needs to be the same, or at least overlapping.
