Don't take the ADHD thing too seriously...if it were up to doctors or educators, we'd all have it. They said I had that in school and I went years getting treated like I was retarded because of it. 10 years later I have a masters degree in political science.

It's all bullshit, man. Just learn to take interest in your work and future and it gets easier. Once you realize learning is actually fun and understanding concepts to things is just, well, interesting, school and work gets easier. All a doctor is going to do is prescribe you some pills to take every day. These pills are nothing but stimulants, similar to caffeine but weaker than cocaine or amphetamines in regards to how they affect the brain. Long term use is not good, and inveitably you'll probably end up on them for a long time if you take them.

If you feel you need to medicate - I'm being honest here - smoke pot. Maybe it's just because I'm from Canada where it's not taboo here, and everybody does it, but I firmly believe that it greatly improves your mental state with proper use. There is research to prove its benefits. It's not just for burn outs; I've met everybody from doctors to lawyers to professors to politicians in my college years who all openly admit they use the stuff.

School is ultimately boring and your mind is destined to drift or succumb to forgetfulness, but this does not mean you have some mental disorder they shit out 20 years ago, that really only exists to earn billions through prescription drugs or therapy.
