Hi, I'm Sean and i'm 16.
Goin on the 29th
Told my mom ( a nurse ) I am always low on motivation and can't focus in school/easily distracted/lose things all the time/never do homework/ procrastinate till literally the very last minute when the teacher collects HW and she told me I was a normal teenage boy that needs to tell himself to get motivated/ it's all in your head.
Well I took her advice ( like a year ago ) and it still hasn't helped. Not good for an asian. So she scheduled an appointment with my doc and told me to tell him "I would like to get screened for ADD". However, I don't know what to say or if it's the right thing to say. He might see me as someone looking for drugs or something. Do I just tell him my symptoms or something? or say I think I have ADD... he says why then tell why.
To anyone who has ADD, what would be the best thing to say?
