@youngsally I will be very interested in hearing what your doctors decide is the source of your problems and if ADD is part of it. My daughter had ADD and is prone to depression, but never without a cause. My son has/had ADHD but seems great now and has been very successful. I think for him the key is staying busy to burn off that hyper-energy. He can be non-stop.

ADD presents somewhat differently depending on age and gender...but depression and anxiety are common comorbidities. There are (as you may know) different types/mixes of ADD along three axis - inattentiveness, impulsivity and hyperactivity. Interestingly in women, the hyperactivity often shows as racing thoughts at night instead of the typical fidgety hyperactivity associated with boys.
