My brother is diagnosed with ADD, however most people are commonly mis diagnosed. Which he isn't but others are. Just because someone is 'spacy' or doesn't behave goood all the time or whatever doen't make them ADD or ADHD. Most of the time, people diagnosed with ADD are just lacking proper nutrition. If any of this clicks then good...if not don't hold it against me.

Generally in your case i would make sure your brother actually has ADD. Depression is often misdiagnosised as ADD. Also generally there is no defined line that will positively prove someone has ADD. Generally most people have Attention Deficit Disorder to some degree. But it is only diagnosised and treated when the chemical imbalance in your brain is severe enough to interfere with your work and life.
