Anxiety and depression are very common co-disorders of ADHD. And, many times caused by the ADHD.
Your symptoms at home are certainly consistent with ADHD or ADD. But, you should also had problems at school. But, in school, how far did you get and what was your GPA. I have seen many adult posts where they were intelligent enough to get through high school, but had a lot more problems in college. I have also had kids in the classroom who were B students and on medication instantly became A students because they could concentrate through a test. All too often, it is accepted for a girl to get B's when she should be getting A's. So question is - were you an A student in high school and college?
