Let's start saying that i'm not that good at english so excuse me if my writing is bad.
Now I was diagnosed with ADD when i was young and medicated it with Ritalin and Concerta and i don't think there was any problem back then, my grades started to suffer in middle school and continued that way just until past year when I started to dedicate more time to studying and things were going pretty well, no failing grades and my performance in the classroom and out of it (homework) was good.
But now as the year advances and the topics start to complicate (Year 10 btw) my grades, my attention and my work decline specially in subjects i don't like and sometimes even if i'm motivated i can't dedicate more than 1 hour to just one thing.
The problem is that when i'm doing a test i can focus entirely on it and finish it on time specially if it's a math test.
I already have an appointment to the psychiatrist but i'd like to know if i my problems are serious enough to get serious treatment.
By the way procrastination and stress about school has increased a lot which in some cases cause a mild depression.
