I often make careless mistake. I have recently started noticing the trend. I find a few things clear I an disorganized. No matter how hard I try there are careless mistake in my work. People feel I am not listening cause I just get lost.
Could be other issues but I guess it is ADHD inattentive type because the trends are from years

Sir,
it is very thoughtful to bring this topic into light.
diagnosing adult ADHD is very difficult even at my level, despite being a psychiatrist.
sometimes it require 2-3 sessions to diagnose it at my clinic.
and then I see few people comming to me with Google diagnosis of ADHD
please don't trust in your google knowledge and show to some psychiatrist and let him diagnose and treat your condition
ADHD or Whatever
