There is an alternate world view that says "if you're struggling to make yourself do X, its because you don't actually want to do X and you should figure out what it is you actually want to do". Going to a psychiatrist for drugs to help you do the thing you "don't actually want to do" goes against this world view.

The inability to delay gratification doesn't qualify as a world view.

Hey, thanks for this! I've been considering going to the doctor for a long time, but never have. I just sent my GP an e-mail and hopefully will have an appointment set up soon.
I have been procrastinating for over 10 years. And then it turned out - that this is a common depression.
Which ruined a lot of life. After starting treatment with a psychiatrist and taking pills, my working capacity increased significantly. There was a lot of strength and motivation.
My advice to those who feel problems with concentration, with the power to force themselves to do something, and so on. Just see a professional doctor. Come to the reception. Describe your situation. And according to the results, you will be prescribed pills that will help you, after a short period of time, significantly return what you have lost due to illness.
