Socially I have been hugely affected because I often have had a hard time keeping interest in people for long lengths of time. I think I even made a thread about it. Everyone recommended I make new friends since I was getting bored of people and it worked... but only for so long. I am really really ecstatic about trying something to help me with this as I have been dealing with some serious depression the past few years and to have some recognition for it and a potential solution as well is just great.

Does anyone one else have any experience with ADD?
