Im not sure I want to be medicated for it though, I know several people who said the medications did some horrible things to them like extreme weight loss and extreme mood swings. Lord I dont need to be anymore moody than I already am. What do you mean bu 12 house moon or mar afflictions?

Sorry i mean hard mars/mercury aspects from what the others mentioned -i have yet to learn on this. Well its true that medications can cause weight loss/moodiness etc. but it all depend on the person. If you can stay on low therapeutic doses that maximises efficacy this would outweigh the drawbacks. Also avoid those highly abusable classes of medicines like benzos.

A triple Gemini guy I know is ADHD. Nothing in his 12th, though. Anyway, he is uber scattered and can't concentrate on anything.

Well you might be hyper-focusing on something that stimulates you.

We were also born on the same year WATER MONKEY, interesting lol

to be honest I think its this generation. Especially growing up texting and the internet really destroyed out attention span. I can't go a minute with out checking updates etc.
Maybe we need to look at outer planets like neptune and uranus..

Awesome, hello fellow water monkey gemini you must be very special lol. Yeah but it could be a bane or boon to us water monkey geminis. Being easily susceptible to the many distractions of today is one big problem for us but if we can overcome it and mantain focus/direction it would be a very good thing. Out of curiousity may i know if you have any 12th house planets?

I find that I have several windows open at once... like right now, I have this site, Hulu+ (Jon Stewart!) and I'm messing around on my phone on DrawSomething/Instagram/texting. I have an issue communicating-- my brain goes 1000mph and my mouth can't keep up. I'll stutter or stammer pretty frequently. I'm prescribed a low dosage, and it just helps slow my brain down enough that I can focus.

My Merc/Mars don't interact, but like you mentioned earlier...they're all in my 12th with Sun and Venus. Also squared by Saturn.

I am not sure about my mercury and mars too, lol i have like 14 tabs on google chrome and 10+ tabs on internet explorer...

I was officially tested for it when I was 13 both by psychologists and school officials and diagnosed as having ADD.

I would look for ADD/ADHD in grand crosses, afflictions involving Mercury or Mars (likely both), and maybe even some sort of mutable affliction....Red Scorp

that's taking it a step further and quite brilliant, I see so much Astro promise in you.

note on ADD/ADHD if you wern't hyperactive as a child, you won't be as an Adult.

Also, there are other causes to ADHD/ADD symptoms like high blood sugar, low thyroid activity, etc. If you're looking for neurological symptoms, you have to concentrate on Mercury, Moon, and Neptune aspects (concerning thinking, feeling/empathy, and daydream/fantasy/mental health). Also, look how those aspect Saturn, Cancer, Libra, Gemini, and Pisces.

I have ADHD as well with Mercury and Venus in the 12th. My Mercury is conjunct Mars as well (Mars falls into my 11th, but it's in the same sign). So yes, my mind runs 100 miles a minute! It's just never calm.

Same with the hyperfocus. Especially when something has to be done and I can't dodge it, then suddenly the positives about Mercury come out. But I wish I could bring myself to it instead of needing a deadline.

I couldn't stop nodding at the rest of you guys' messages, especially mouth not being able to keep up. There's so much I want to say and my brain is way too far ahead, by the time I've typed one sentence I'm already thinking of something else. (Like with this message...) If I don't run things over in my head, I'll be rambling like crazy and I don't want to annoy other people. I'll just think to myself, "It's for them, it's better this way". But it really hurts that people don't see it. Most people only focus on the mistakes. Is that the 12th house influence? My Mercury only makes positive aspects, but they are to Neptune, Saturn and other planets you all mentioned...
