So arrange a visit: People are most productive when they get adequate restorative sleep, are free from illness, are well nourished & in a comfortable setting. You need to see your doc & rule out any contributing factors to your issue. I find it difficult to accept any adult who looks for an ADHD label if they were never treated for it as a kid. On line tests are worthless & often funded by drug companies.
