Adult Deficit Disorder<\/a>, commonly called ADD is a developmental disorder manifested by the requirement of unsuitable levels of attention. Some people describe ADD as a profusion of attention as some people find it difficult to focus attention on one thing at a time especially when it appears meaningless and boring to them rather than a lack of attention.<\/p>\n

\n

Even though studies estimate that almost 3.5% of the population is affected by ADD, diagnoses of ADD is a controversial issue, since many experts believe it to be a psychological rather than a biological disorder.<\/p>\n

Following are the symptoms of a person who suffers from this condition:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Inability to focus attention to detail, making careless mistakes while going about daily work schedule<\/li>\n
  2. Appearing not to listen when spoken to<\/li>\n
  3. Ignoring instructions or finishing tasks<\/li>\n
  4. Avoiding tasks that require higher levels of mental effort<\/li>\n
  5. Frequently losing items required for the work at hand<\/li>\n
  6. Getting distracted easily<\/li>\n
  7. Excessive forgetfulness<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    However, the presence of either of the above symptoms is not a conclusive sign of ADD. A person requires\u00a0Adult ADD<\/a>\u00a0medication only if at least six of the above symptoms are manifested in a person continuously for more than three months.<\/p>\n

    There is a prevailing association of\u00a0Depression<\/a>\u00a0with ADD. Usually\u00a0Depression<\/a>\u00a0starts later than the first onset of ADD, as with time, the predominant symptoms of adult\u00a0Attention Deficit Disorder<\/a>\u00a0tend to shift from external visible ones to the internal symptoms of Mood Disorders such as Major\u00a0Depression<\/a>, Dysthymia (Chronic low-level\u00a0Depression<\/a>) and Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depressive Disorder.) It cannot be however, ignored that\u00a0Depression<\/a>\u00a0can be a side effect of\u00a0Adult ADD<\/a>\u00a0medication as stimulants have been known to aggravate\u00a0Depression<\/a>\u00a0and mania.<\/p>\n

    Depression<\/a>\u00a0is viewed as being different from feelings, commonly known as \u2018blues\u2019 that every one experiences sometime in one\u2019s life. \u2018Blues\u2019 are normal and simply a transitory feeling of sadness or demoralization during difficult times.\u00a0Depression<\/a>\u00a0is an illness and is indicated only when a person cannot snap out of or get over such feelings within a reasonable period of time, say, two weeks.\u00a0Depression<\/a>\u00a0is a pervasive feeling of sadness that refuses to go away even with a conscious effort.<\/p>\n

    Some of the major symptoms of\u00a0Depression<\/a>\u00a0are a noticeable change in appetite accompanied with significant weight loss or weight gain, change in sleeping patterns such as fitful sleep,\u00a0Insomnia<\/a>, sleeping too much, feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness, feelings of inappropriate guilt, loss of energy, fatigue and loss of interest in formerly enjoyed activities. The most serious symptom of\u00a0Depression<\/a>\u00a0that requires immediate\u00a0Adult ADD<\/a>\u00a0medication is when suicidal tendencies start showing.<\/p>\n
