Brief Answer:
Medical evaluation is necessary first.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

At your age, first is necessary to get evaluated about mild cognitive impairment, since you are experiencing those symptoms.

It is true that Adderall could help with concentration and focusing, but is only a symptomatic improvement.

However, an evaluation by a Neurologist is necessary, to find first the cause of your concerns.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
