Thank you so much for the response,
From that list, I am certain that I can scratch off Nvld (If, by definition, struggling with nonverbal communication), because I live a pretty normal social life, I would even say I have above average empathetic/social ability.
However, I am unsure about the others. In my honors/advanced placement courses at a challenging high school, I find that I am competent in terms of memory (maybe a little rough with short term memory) , learning, critical/abstract thinking; however, I fall extremely short in the willpower/motivation department, which inhibits my overall learning time opportunities. Do willpower and motivation have to do with the symptoms of ADD and/or depression? I do know that depression is associated with serotonin deficiency, however I dont experience constant melancholy as I have in the past with the disorder. Is it possible that I just have an addictive personality? Perhaps, the gratification I receive from activities I do whilst procrastinating are the only things that bring me satisfaction in everyday life. If so, then is there treatment for this minor sort of addiction, or will my guidance counselor even treat me seriously?
What is the type of adhd that is linked with depression and anxiety?
Regardless, I really should be asking these questions to my school counselor, but I think that I have not because I feel like i am stuck in this inescapable hole.

anyways, again thank you so much for everyone’s responses.
