ADHD or simply concentration problem?
I'm aged 24. 1) I have lot of problem in organizing while meeting datelines. If a task exam is due 1 month/week, i cant comprehend the meaning of scheduling or sticking to the schedule. i cant grasp the meaning & fulfillment of "completing". Same for exam prep, and leads to chronic last moment rush. 2) in lectures/friend says something long &informative, i cant listen fully to the total version. Its "gapped" with several missing portions. when i read, sometimes i have to re-read 1 simple line many times. 4)i dont like & avoid to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort. I do for 2mins, then distracted, again do for 2 min, so on. 5)forgetfulness is moment to moment issue. i often have my hands, arms filled with scribbles to remind me of stuffs to buy/bring/do. 6) i keep losing pen/ pencil when i sit to study. i also leave things behind, like umbrella/calculator/mobile in class. are these simply lack of mindfulness, procrastination, laziness or points at ADHD/ADD?

Well ADHD is a disorder of attention deficit and /or hyperactivity so from what you have mentioned you are having issues of forgetfulness and disinterest. Since you have not mentioned for how long this has been going on or how it started can't not comment what the problem is eczactly but it's certainly not ADHD. So please get in touch with a Psychiatrist and get yourself assesed.
