How can you tell if you have a.d.d or not?

I am a very slow learner and get distracted very easily and also forget things very easily...could this in anyway tie into having a.d.d

Answer:
You might just be getting distracted because you are slow to learn the material and uninterested. Is there any topic you are really interested in? Dive in that topic, read books, do research, if you find that you have trouble even learning a topic you absolutely love, then I'd consider seeing someone to see if you can take a psycological test for ADD.

Anxiety and depression often too will show symptoms of ADD while not being ADD. Try calming yourself down and realize that it is perfectly ok if you learn at your own pace. No one is judging you, and if they are, they're wrong to.
stands on your head and sees if yo p.p. is not a d.d. in disguise
People with ADD typically just get distracted. I bet your just dealing with anxiety. People who have ADD are most of the time still good learners and can remember as well as anyone. Talk to your school psychologist or someone else to diagnose your individual needs.
you need to get checked by a proffessional in the field, so see your docter . there are many resouces on the web to help you:
