Attention Deficiency Hyperactivity
I don't wanna sound paranoid but I think I have ADHD.
I'm 22 years old. Above average student since school. Got 80%+ in almost any exam without really trying. But there was one problem. Focus. I didn't study for 10% of the time other topper used to study.. I just couldn't. Maybe that's just laziness? But I don't think so because I can't even if I try to. I can't focus on one source I'd worry about the other being more right. (YKWIM?)
I'm trying to crack a competitive exam and I'm hopeless.. because I just cannot focus.
What should I do?
