Yes, but the difference between a normal person who has alot of energy and doesnt like to sit still and someone with ADHD is just a variation in severity of the same thing. Lots of people have your problem. A doctor decides when the severity is enough to need medication.
I for one think doctors dole out medication when its still just normal behavior. But depending on your situations it could be ADHD.
Be careful with the meds. They can be great at first and then be terrible later in life and cause worse problems.
Speaking as a doctor and psychotherapist who treats ADHD, it is diagnosed based on behavioral symptoms. Try this comprehensive list of ADHD symptoms and see if they apply to you.
