Suggest Treatment For Lack Of Concentration In Studies

I can t concentrate in class and I m getting seriously bad grades. I was wondering if I might have ADHD but I m afraid to ask my parents to see a doctor about it. And I don t have money, so I actually can t see the point in this if I have to pay for an answer. I m a teenage girl, not a bank.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing.
I would recommend a proper evaluation with a psychiatrist before you self diagnose with ADHD. ADHD can be treated, if found. However, diagnosing ADHD on this platform is not the right thing to do. May be discussing with your parents is not a bad idea.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Dr A Rao
