<s>[INST] I think I have ADHD but I'm not sure. I'm 13 years old and I'm making pretty good grades in school (B+'s, A-'s) but whenever I'm doing my homework I always get distracted and walk around, email my friends, play with my dogs, etc. etc. And my mom always tells me when I bring up the subject that I'm just overreacting and I'm just stressed but I don't know if it's just that. The only thing that makes me doubt that I have ADHD or something like that is I've never really been like this before- I've always been talkative in classes but I've never had real difficulty getting my homework done. [/INST] Hi. Usually children have ADHD when they are really small. like when they are between the ages of 4 to 7-8. Ask your family if you had ADHD or any such attention disorder when you were little. if you did, ask them to take you to a therapist or a psychiatrist. If, however, you do not have a history related with ADHD, but you still feel uneasy with yourself while working, try segregating your time frame. work on your paper for twenty minutes and then take a five minute break and do what you wish. then come back and repeat this 20 - 5 minute frame again. hope this helps you. if it doesn't, visit your family doctor and await suggestions. </s>
