The last time I talked to my medical doctor he said I should be checked for ADD and said I should mention it to my pdoc. He says all these years of being treated for depression and never really getting better could be I am being treated for the wrong thing.

I have done research on ADD and bi polar, but it is hard to diagnose myself.

It seems like it would be very easy for a doctor to misdiagnose a patient.

My 12 year old is diagnosed with ADD, I suppose it is possible I might have it.

Any comments?
