Distracted by your own thoughts
PsychCentral
Inattention is a staple ADHD symptom, and inattention can occur when you're distracted by something other than the task at hand.
When we talk about "distractions," often we think about a distraction as something external — an interesting activity, a loud noise, a person who walks into the room while you're working. It's also possible to get distracted by one's own thoughts, too.

High school vape culture can be almost as hard to shake as addiction, teens say
NPR
When Will tried his first vape during his sophomore year, he didn't know what to expect. It was just something he had vaguely heard about at school.

The difference between a psychologist and a counselor: Who can diagnose you?
Yahoo! Lifestyle
The difference between a psychologist vs a counselor is that a psychologist can diagnose mental illnesses, while a counselor can treat them. If you're looking to find out what mental illness you have, it's best to go to a licensed psychologist who has been to graduate school and has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology or something in the psychological field. A counselor, on the other hand, is someone you can see for therapy.

Psychology Today
Judith J. Wurtman writes: Many of us are aware of how our medical treatment seems to be focused on different body parts, but not enough on ourselves as a unified body and mind. People with mental disorders may have an additional disadvantage in obtaining medical care that includes both their mental and physical health needs.
