How do I know if I have adult ADHD? - Mental Health Care (Psychiatry)

How do I know if I have adult ADHD?

I've always had trouble focusing and I have trouble staying on task a lot. I'm constantly straying from what I should be doing to do something else and I struggle to get things done. It effects my work and home life and my friends and family are constantly reminding me that I need to get things done. I procrastinate a lot and I keep trying not to. Should I go get seen by a doctor? I thought this was something that I was supposed to outgrow as I got older and it hasn't. Is there a way to shut my mind up and focus without medication?
