About a year ago I went to a psychiatrist because of horrible academic performance (almost got kicked out of college because of too many failed courses). Got diagnosed with ADHD and got meds for it. It's been a year after and even if I doing better at school, there's things that I still struggle with.
In my 4 years of college I haven't been able to make a single friend. I almost can't look at someone in the eyes with talking with them. This happens even with family and close relatives. I avoid any social interaction because of how awkward and uncomfortable I feel. The ones who know me have always said I'm very intelligent, even though I've never really felt like it.
wtf is wrong with me? Is it just social anxiety or something else? Sometimes I think I may have aspergers but I really don't know.

Do you overthink? Do you lack energy? Do you struggle to wake up? If so, it may be a classic case of depression

I do tend to overthink, but I don't lack energy or struggle to wake up. I try to go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week and I've been doing it for almost 2 years now. Social anxiety levels still through the ryikess tho

does mainstream psychiatry acknowledge what he says?

If you do, it may be something done by your government, you should investigate.

It would not be profitable if it did. mainline psychiatric education is heavily subsidized by the pharmaceutical industry, the drugs they sell do not treat the underlying causes of disorder but artificially manage the symptoms, making people dependent upon them. ADHD can be a number of things really, sometimes you get diagnosed with it just because your mind has a different way of learning things that the public schools don't know how to accommodate.

Avoiding eye contact and impaired ability to socialise can be indicative symptoms of autism/aspergers, you may have a mild form of one of these thats not prevalent enough for others or yourself to identify as an actual impairment.
If I were you I would get an examination by a specialist.
