Adult ADD/ADHD?????

[BeautifulDisaster86]

Ive been diagnosed with anxiety and depression but my meds dont really work and i still cant sleep. My aunt says that she was wrongy diagnosed with depression for many years and still struggled up until 5 yrs ago when she found out she had ADD and now everything has changed for her. im not sure if i just need to get my meds changed or if i may have ADD. Does anyone know how common it is to mis-diagnose ADD for depression/anxiety? And if it is possible who would i see to find out?

       Anxiety/depression is a very common co-disorder of AD/HD, and it is certainly worth checking out.  I would find a psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD.
       this is a good site on adult AD/HD - http://www.help4adhd.org/en/treatment/guides/WWK9
       If you have any more questions, please ask.  Best wishes!
