Hi,
It is possible, with a history of inability to focus and concentrate, difficulty with decisions, that he does have ADHD.
He would need to be assessed by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine if this is the case. If confirmed then treatment can be started if this is your wish.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
