Hello doctor,

I do not have any official diagnoses, but I am curious to know more about ADHD or ADD and OCD. Recently I was about to sit down to eat breakfast when I got sidetracked and started something else. One thing lead to another and next thing I know it is 45 minutes later, I have half of my room torn apart due to not finishing everything I had started, and I still had not touched my breakfast. I have had more of these types of situations recently, and it makes me frustrated and a little worried. I thought about going to see a doctor about it, but I was hoping for an opinion. Currently, I am not under any medications.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Start with one thing on another, and we may behave strangely. But it does not mean that you have some psychiatric diagnosis. The difference between abnormality and normality lies on a spectrum in psychiatry. Some criteria to define if a particular thing needs the attention of a psychiatrist.

1) Persistent in nature.

2) Disturb your day to day routine.

3) Functional impairment.

4) Disturbance of bio functions like sleep, appetite, etc.

If all these things are not there, then I would not advise you to consult a doctor. If this last for some time, then contact a psychiatrist.
