i was wondering if i have ADD or ADHD? you see i am depressed but i get very distracted and i can't focus on studies or school work i have very low self esteem and im very sensitive about other peoples feelings i also have problems with my peers i feel inferior and different from other people. I also dont understand things very well like instructions and directions i need them to be explained very clearly and several times. I am very careless about school and life.

FROM THE INFO PROVIDED IT SEEMS TO ME THAT U MAY BE SUFFERING FROM CLINICAL DEPRESSION. BEING DISTRACTED, LACK OF CONCENTRATION AND INFERIORITY COMPLEX ARE ALL PART OF THE SYNDROME OF DEPRESSION. WHEN ONE IS DEPRESSED ONE USUALLY IS UNABLE TO PERFORM WELL IN SCHOOL OR JOB. SO DO NOT BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF. ONCE UR DEPRESSION IS TREATED, UR SCHOOL PERFORMANCE WILL IMPROVE AND SO WILL UR CONCENTRATION

REGARDING ADHD, THERE ARE 3 MAIN CLINICAL FEATURES-
1. INATTENTION
2.HYPERACTIVITY
3. IMPULSIVITY.

THESE 3 SYMPTOMS ARE MORE PROMINENT IN CHILDHOOD ADHD BUT IN TEENAGE THESE SYMPTOMS GET MODIFIED AND THE PRESENTATION OF ADHD MAY BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WITH DEPRESSION , SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS SETTING IN.

I SUGGEST-
1. FLUXETINE 20 MG ONCE A DAY.
2. KINDLY GET URSELF ASSESSED BY A PSYCHIATRIST ALSO IF U FEEL U HAVE THESE THREE CLINICAL FEATURES OF ADHD
3. ALSO PLEASE TELL ME UR AGE AND THE DURATION OF UR SYMPTOMS IN ORDER FOR ME TO HELP U BETTER
