Hello Doctor,
I have come to the conclusion that I have traits refered to as ADHD and I am not certain if I should seek any type of medical treatment. If I have coped with this for this long, what is the best thing for me to do to overcome some of the short falls I face? I am a 47yr old adult male in good health. I really don't want to resort to any type of medicine, but I do occasionally smoke a little pot.
I have had some issues in the last few years with mild depression and though I got a prescription for Zoloft I only used a few weeks before I decided I didnt' want to use it.
I suppose what I am really looking for are a few ways to overcome my lack of focus and concentration I desparately need in order to be successful in my career as a saleman. Maybe you could refer me to some good books as I do enjoy reading. (5 or 6 books at at ime : ) I am self employed and with ADHD symptoms combinded with the evil of procrastination I often struggle with being productive.
I have read the positive side of ADHD and I believe that I have everyone of the positive aspects of this disorder.
Thank you for your advice
Maximum Respect
