Hello and thanks for writing in. I understand that you are going through a difficult time due to your problems of poor attention and concentration. Now, the first thing that needs to be done is a detailed psychological assessment to confirm whether you have ADHD or not. This is normally done with a clinical assessment by a psychiatrist and certain rating scales. If a diagnosis of ADHD is confirmed, then further treatment can be planned. Treatment is available in the form of stimulant medication like methylphenidate, dextroamphetamine, etc. as well as psychological / behavioral the railed So, please consult a Psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further treatment.
