[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 19388, member: 59"] We just went through this with our easy child daughter who is a sophomore in college with a 3.9 GPA. She had been finding it very difficult to focus and concentrate lately and in all honesty we have questioned for years why she was so forgetful and unfocused. She always got very good grades but had to work very hard for them and is now finding it more difficult to keep up with the subject matter in college. She has been seeing a psychiatrist for anxiety for several years so she asked about medications for ADD. We had to fill out a questionnaire as did she and she came out high on the ADD scale. She has recently been started on Strattera because it is a non stimulant and the psychiatrist thought that would not interfere with her anxiety like a stimulant would. Perhaps she should have been on ADD medications years ago, perhaps that would have prevented some of the anxiety from being such a perfectionist and finding it difficult to concentrate. You can start with your family dr. Since she is a easy child I wouoldn't hesitate to have her talk to someone. If she can be helped then it's worth it. Nancy [/QUOTE]
