What Causes Anxiety And Lack Of Concentration?

I am a 20 year old female college student struggling with school and work and homework. I have had problems focussing in school for years, the school nurse wanted to put me on ritalin but I felt like I did not want to be "medicated." I would like more information about the different kinds of medications out there to treat ADD symptoms. I feel very unmotivated and stressed out over everything that I need to get done. I have had problems sleeping lately.
