Yes, OP. In fact you should try see a doctor for this as soon as you can. People with ADHD have spoken about how they lost years of their lives through unrealized potential. People that might have otherwise gotten degrees, had more successful careers, and easier lives. It adds up massively.

If you do go on meds make sure to be honest with yourself about how you perform. You'll want to pay close attention to your sleep because many people find they can't get healthy sleep on the meds. If that happens a doctor may be able to prescribe something to help or switch to shorter acting stimulants.

I dropped out with only a few classes left because I couldn’t take it. It did start my entrepreneurship career but dang, I would have liked to have that degree.
