It's important to properly diagnose ADHD because it shares symptoms with several other diseases. ADHD is primarily a prefrontal cortex issue due to faulty dopamine genetics. Any regulation of executive function is fair game with the disease. This includes task initiation, task salience, future planning, emotional regulation. Attention is really a poor designation, but the disease has been given the imprimatur by the government as a severely life limiting disorder, so name changes are out of the question. Without stimulant medication and cognitive behavioral therapy, the outlook is dim. Get tested and find a treatment regimen with your GP who should be able to coordinate it.
