That sounds like a symptom of depression, not ADHD.

It's not emotional. I'm not feeling down/sad. I just can't focus on doing anything.
Brushing teeth doesn't require focus. There is definitely more than ADHD going on here. Extreme depression often isn't feeling down/sad, it's a complete lack of energy or motivation to do even the most simple tasks such as brushing ones teeth.
I'm not an expert, but I've never heard of such severe symptoms in ADHD cases. I think you should really consult a psychiatrist.
This is not ADHD
