I think that what you really need to do is to talk to a doctor.  It really doesnt matter if it is ADD or depression.  Either way a doc will be able to assess the issue and help you decide the best way around it :)  I know it can be very hard to go to a doc and say I think I might be depressed but I can assure you, from personal experience that it is like a huge weight off your shoulders when you do.  In my case the my doc had me on prozac for about a year and after that I was able to come off it and have been fine since, but I knew from the beginning that it was possible the antidepressant meds might be a part of my life forever, much the same case for people with ADD - they know if they get the diagnosis it might be life changing... but I can tell you that my diagnosis of depression changed my life for the better in a million ways

I agree with LadyBentley. Only your dr or a psychologist skilled in diagnosing them can make the determination. Many drs are more likely to diagnose depression in adults though so I would suggest the psych.

There is a questionnaire at www.brainplace.org which may help you decide whether or not it is likely to be ADD but it can't give you an official diagnosis.
