and Jacko's Linda could be correct, mild depression has similar symptoms |
Sorry, but that is too simplistic and a tad unfair. If adults with diagnosed ADD could easily manage by following your recommendations...
and sticking to them...then there wouldn't be any anxiety or frustration about the situation. In other words, the crux of the "problem" would be solved. I am very glad that such skills have worked for you and that you have avoided taking meds since that seems to be important to you. However, I cannot tell you how many "to do" lists I have started in my life....how many assignment notebooks I have started (and lost)...etc. etc.
If only it could be that easy.
