Does this mean I have adult ADD or ADHD?

I'm someone who cannot sit down and relax and read a good book for some reason. I'm not a book reader at all; I watch a lot of TV, and anything I read, it has to have pictures or be a really short article on the internet. After reading about ten pages in a book or reading a textbook, I just get a headache and then start to feel agitated, and anxious, and I even get sleepy and pass out taking a nap. I'm really impatient and get aggravated at stuff such as long traffic lights at intersections and waiting in line. Lately, I've been more jumpy than usual and figit alot, and all I can think about is my job. I also want sex to be less than 10 minutes with my boyfriend. Does this mean I could have ADD or ADHD?

I was always on the high honor roll and dean's list making a lot of A's and some B's in school, 3.8 GPA, and I'm able to hold down a job, but I still wonder if it sounds like ADD/ADHD?

Anything is possible. I would definitely talk to a neurologist/psychiatrist if I were you, because it sounds like you have a bit of ADHD (hyperactivity/impulsiveness).

They can tell you better than we can! If you can still function well performing daily activities without medication, though, I wouldn't recommend getting yourself on anything. They can be addictive and the withdrawal symptoms are just not worth it if they can be avoided.
