This is one symptom of ADHD. You should see if you have any others. (I'm not a doctor, etc, etc.)

Have you seen a psychiatrist, or tried any medications for it?

The symptoms for ADHD are nearly identical to depression, anxiety, and minor cases of manic depression. Armchair psychology is a very very dangerous thing, that nearly all of us get wrong.

Hit up a doctor before jumping to conclusions.
