ADHD

Dear friends,

i just finish my recital. I found out that i will forget my score at the end of the piece.It happened almost every piece. The only piece which i make it perfectly is Janacek Sonata. Anywhere, one of my teacher said that i may have suffer from ADHD/ADD, Attention Defeatsive Disorder that cause me can;t focus long enough...that lead to "BOOM" memory lapes.
but there';s are several reason to think of also,
1. this is my first recital.. maybe lack of experience..but this doen;t happen on my firends. i notice that everytime when i had memory lapes is on the time i think"i am going to forget" and my heart beat will get faster......after that..the lapes happen...my hand out of my mind's control...

2. my memory is obviously bad......maybe part of the reason cause of ADD...

does ADD really will affect on memory lapes..
Anyone has the similar case like me??

i think its due to lack of experience. try to practice playing more often in front of people. if its due to ad(h)d, then it would have happened not just when you are performing.

Well, don't give up and run to the doctor quite yet.  ADD/ADHD have so many random symptoms and severities, that it can be diagnosed in ANYONE.  Besides, psychiatrists aren't piano teachers, the same way piano teachers aren't psychiatrists. 
Honestly, I think your teacher may have given you a bit of a crutch by telling you something negative like that.  If he/she says anything like that again, tell him/her you don't appreciate being spoken to that way.  I am actually a bit put off by this, being a piano teacher myself.  It is a teachers job to help you learn and to help you think positively, not to insult you and put you down when you are having a common problem.
The simple fact is, piano is very difficult, and it takes years and years of hard work to get good at remembering what you need to remember at the right time.  Trust me, all pianists go through this, it's in no way caused by a mental disease.  Just keep practicing, and if this teacher insists and continuing to make judgements about your mental health, GET A NEW TEACHER.
