I have never got myself diagnosed to see if I have ADHD.Is ADHD a real disorder(genuinely curious here)?

  Of course it is. It's also wildly over-diagnosed. There are physiological reasons it can exist; there are also environmental reasons the symptoms can exist.

    Can you elaborate on environmental reasons which leads to symptoms existing?

      If you're in a distractive environment you'll tend to pick that up. E.g., skimming internet articles and comments. If you don't work in a place where you must focus on multiple tasks. If people around you are scattered and unfocused. If you use external stimuli for arousal (food, TV, internet, whatever). Etc.
