You need to look for a psychiatrist that specialises in attention disorders. You also need to work with them on a therapy -- you don't go to them and ask them to give you amphetamines, but instead go talk to them about the issues you have in your day to day life.
Speaking as a fellow European that until recently had the same views as you.
With therapy I of course agree - I do think that people are overmedicated. It should be the last resort.
But even on that, it's unlikely that someone will concur it might be that. General vibe I got was that, as I said - it's something you grow out.
And sometimes I find myself doubting, maybe they're right and it's something wrong with us? Many times I have wondered if it is just my subconscious way of trying to avoid responsibility for myself.

Yes. The thing wrong with us is that our life style is not a good fit but we persist to it despite knowing that. But why? Well we are more or less forced into it because society currently values dicking around with the JS library of the day much higher than herding a flock of sheep.
