I'd ask your mom why she is against medication.
Secondly, I'd like to point out that while medication is a great thing for most with ADHD, therapy is also useful. Therapy and medication combined is a win-win situation. Tell your mother you would like to get assessed whether you go on medication for it or not. You have a right to have your health problems taken care of. I'm concerned that your mother is a nurse and against medication for a medical condition.
