[|Human|] Hi there, I m wanting to go and talk to my doctor about possibly having some form of ADHD. I m 23 years old but am noticing symptoms that really hinder me sometimes. I struggle to pay attention when listening to people, I really have to conecentrate to stay with the conversation or even when watching movies for that matter. I find my self looking at the movie more than paying attention and listening. I also get distracted when I m trying to read. I ll notice that my mind starts to wander and I want take in anything that I ve read. I find my mind races really fast sometimes. I don t have any control over it. I can t sleep at night when it is. It happens every now and then but enough to cause an issue. I am a very fidgety person when laying down and trying to concentrate. (This is a symptom I read online earlier that made sense to me but could be nonsense.) Now that I m trying to better myself as a person I m starting to notice things like this. I was always told at high school that I was distracted easily in classes even though I was a bright kid. Basically what I m trying to say is, is it worth me going to see my doctor and discussing some sort of medication or plan? Or do I just need more practice at these things.
[|AI|]  Hello thanks for asking from ChatDoctorI can understand your concern. You are 23 and have symptoms like poor attention, inability to maintain focus, distraction, racing thoughts etc. These are symptoms are inattention and are seen in ADHD. In ADHD symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsiveness, inattention etc. are seen. If you have impulsive behavior, hyperactivity in tasks then the diagnosis of ADHD could be made. In adults with ADD commonly symptoms of inattention are seen. If these symptoms are resulting in impairment in your functioning, and you are not able to function properly then please visit a psychiatrist for help. Explain your symptoms in detail to the psychiatrist and if needed medicines can be started. For adult ADD stimulants are commonly used. ADDERALL or METHYLPHENIDATE etc. are used commonly for the treatment. Thanks and Take care
