How do I know if I have it or not? I am procasinator and I just cannot study until tests are coming up very close. When i try to study in an 8 hour day sometimes I get 30 minutes of work done. I graduated undergrad and masters with a 3.7+ both and in Medical school now but I think I can't cram and I am not sure if it is me being lazy or ADHD for me :/

Go to a medical professional if you're actually looking for a solution. Don't self-diagnose.

Do you just talk to your general practice doctor to start, or do you immediately go to a specialist, and if so what type of specialist?

I'd go to your general practitioner first to discuss your concerns. They'll be able to help and also direct you to relevant specialists.
