Fidgeting, interrupting conversations, losing things, problems remembering obligations, difficulty concentrating - everyone acts this way once in a while. But a long and persistent history of restless, impulsive, or inattentive behavior may be a sign of Adult ADD. This is especially true if these behaviors have existed since childhood and result in problems at work, home, and/or in social settings.

If you think you might have Adult ADD, here are several questions you might want to ask yourself. These are some of the questions that can help healthcare professionals screen for Adult ADD.

Ask yourself these questions and think about how long you have experienced these symptoms and how often they occur. If these symptoms are interfering with your success at home, at work, or with friends, and have your whole life, you may want to talk to your healthcare professional about a clinical evaluation.
