Suggest Treatment For Lack Of Concentration

I'm a college student and I have trouble paying attention and I make horrible grades. Everyone tells me that I have ADD and should get tested but i can't afford it because of how expensive it is and because of my college budget. Is there anyother way for a doctor to diagnose me and put me on medication without having to actually go through all the testing because that's just finantialy not an option for me?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You do not have any concentration problem if you:
1. are able to watch an interesting movie for one and half hour.
2. are able to play a game without loosing your concentration for an hour.

In these given situations, you were concentrating on those given tasks because of your interest on those subjects. Therefore, if you are unable to concentrate on your studies, it is because of your non-interest. Make your studies or learning interesting.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
