Guys,new here,

Have ADHD like symptoms mostly easily distracted, memory impairment, difficulty concentrating or inattentive, fogginess of mind,slow processing speed .

I know these are symptoms of ADD but was never diagnosed in childhood as ADD .Is it possible i still may have ADD.

One doctor diagnosed me with ADHD in the past,but this thing confused me and stopped me from taking medication.

Plz respond to this .I need help

Definitely still possible you have ADD. I didn’t get diagnosed until I was 41. You should have still experienced the symptoms as a child though if you do have ADD. Do some research in your area and try to find an experience d Pychiartist who understands adult ADHD for another opinion. You can do a medication trial if you are open to medication and see if it makes a difference. Medication really helped me a lot.
