I am a physically healthy 17 year old, in
my first year of sixth form.
I have a healthy diet, and have always
been very health-conscious.
However, recently, I have had a problem. I
can't keep attention for long, no matter
how hard I try. It happens in all aspects,
including class and just regular social
activities.
I'll be listening in class and then
suddenly my mind will rail off into
thinking of all sorts of things, such as
the universe, religion, or just any vivid
and deep thought. I try my best to keep
attention but I always trail off, and it
affects my ability to work greatly.
In social situations, I can be talking to
someone about something, and then suddenly
I'll start thinking of something else, and
it makes a lot of conversations slow, and
I have to keep stopping and starting, or
say something like "Wait a minute, let me
think..." to get back on track.
Is this ADD/ADHD?
Thank you, if you took the time to read
this.

This is not really consistant with
ADD/ADHD. I would go see a doctor about
this. It is unusual for someone your age
to have this sort of problem. Seeing a
neurologist is a good place to start.

I have the same problem as the OP, only I
am 28 years old. I've felt this way for a
few years now.

I have the same problem and I'm suspecting
it is because I was depressed for awhile.
I'm still somewhat depress but I try to
not let it get the best of me. But every
now and then my attention would just drift
off and I find myself thinking about all
kinds of things .
