Recently I read an article on the net about ADD/ADHD and I found out that I possess all of the symptoms .

* “zoning out” without realizing it, even in the middle of a conversation.
* extreme distractibility; wandering attention makes it hard to stay on track.
* difficulty paying attention or focusing, such as when reading or listening to others.
* struggling to complete tasks, even ones that seem simple.
* tendency to overlook details, leading to errors or incomplete work.
* poor listening skills; hard time remembering conversations and following directions.

As a kid , I was really hyperactive and my imagination was always wild . I often imagined that I was a King and leading army into battles . I was constantly thinking and I was considered a genius at that time , excelling in studies faster than any other kids at school . Until Form 3 , I slowed down ... Getting depressed most of the time , and having different personalities all the time . People always question my weird behavior and stuff .

It has been 2 years and I was thinking of taking medication but I really don't want to resort to drugs because I fear the side effects and stuff . Anyone with the disorder care to share ?
