Well, there is limbic ADD to consider which is a form of "depressive" ADD that might explain a lot of folks symptoms. I know for sure that when I am "typically" depressed during my seasonal bipolar episodes my mind slows WAY down and I have trouble doing ordinary math and finding words, etc., making simple mistakes. IOW, cognitive dysfunction seems to be my biggest trouble during this time (worse than oversleeping, overeating, etc.).
