This is trite, but the actual answer doesn't really deserve to be sent to the void. If you think you might have ADHD, get evaluated.
The ability to "deep focus" on problems while sitting at desk for 8 hours isn't what evolution optimized for, but it's what you need to succeed today. Not everyone can make that transition easily, and it's not wrong to get help if you can't.
There are a lot of very successful people on ADHD meds, who would not be successful without it. It's not all abuse. I would be the last person on earth to default to medication for a young child, but if you're an adult and unhappy with your ability to mentally commit to problem-solving, there's no reason you shouldn't think about this seriously.
