Very short attention - A.D.D?

2017-11-13 21:22:07
I don't think I have A.D.D but I find it extremely hard to concentrate for extended periods of time. this is highly effecting my school performance and with IGCSE exams around the corner the pressure is only growing. So, as I know some people that have A.D.D, I have heard about Ritalin which then lead me to wonder if their would be a possibility of me being prescribed some as help.
