Answers:
At what age did this begin!? Just tell your mother you want to
be tested by a psychiatrist to find our what is wrong because you
cannot focus on anything!. If she doesn't get you help, talk to your
school counselor about the problem and let him/her get involved!.
Have her read this reply by me!. I have linked a site where it discusses
the link in ADHD and depression, but it could be due to a number
of conditions that only a qualified licensed psychiatrist would be
able to diagnose!.
I am so sorry that you are having these problems, and I hope
your mthoer allows you to get help!.
I will be praying for you!.

Well, since you can't convince her go to your counselor and let him/her do it!. If you have one by the time take your most recent report card and let him/her see it!. And explain to him/her just what you said on here!. Hopefully, that will be enough!. If not pull one of your teachers to the side one that you can really trust and confide in him/her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
if you are 16 you don't need her permission, but at that age, there isn't much they will do to treat ADD either!. Most physicians will simply tell you that it is the hormonal changes involved with puberty and dismiss your concerns, psychiatrists do this all the time!. Suggest you might do better to see a counsellor at school, and follow their suggestions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ah! You really need to talk to her!. Say My grades are extremely important this year and i am really having problems focusing on my school work i am really suffering and why suffer if there is a way to fix my problem!. Be like mom do you want me to do better in school!? I really need to get tested please mom!.!
hope i helped :]Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've two kids with ADD, one's Aspbergers and OCD!.
Your parents have to be 'on your side' on this, you cannot self diagnose!. If you're in junior year of high school I'd guess this has been going on for a long time, and you've most likely worked out some strategies to help yourself, and have managed this without psych intervention or meds!.
If you had been evaluated in grade school you could have an IEP http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Individuali!.!.!. now, but that might have put you at a disadvantage!.
You should be able to get some help from your counselor and the school medical office!.
Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
