> > > Dr. Daniel Amen, most famous for his use of MRI's in diagnosis of ADHD, recommends mood stabilizers for a subtype of the disorder he calls 'temporal lobe ADD.' It is supposed to share features with certain types of epilepsy, hence the use of mood stabilizers. The books that Amen and friends put out on ADD, depression and anxiety are among the glossiest you will find in the Psych section of Barnes and Noble, and are readily available.

>I'm not sure if I have ADD or not. I know that I have trouble focusing and concentrating - that studying or working on spreadsheets takes me a lot longer than it takes other people. But I don't know if that's just a result of my depression or if it's ADD. OTOH, I've always done well in school. How does one distinguish whether it's depression or ADD?
