UPDATE: My [30 M] Wife [28 F] and I have been married for five months and we cannot talk about things because she cannot seem to put her thoughts together. Is there a medical condition like this?

Original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationshi...n_married_for/
I would like to begin by thanking every single individual who offered advice on my original post. In fact, even though it is not very likely to get diagnosis over the internet, the advice which especially focused on what I can personally do has really made a powerful impression on me which will definitely help me to manage my wife's condition very lovingly. So thank you all.
When I got home the other day, my wife and I had a really lengthy conversation under total stress-free conditions. I began by apologizing sincerely for the whole situation as I would never ever have done certain things I did before if I knew she had a medical condition.
After showing her my efforts to look for answers even from the internet, she just heaved a sigh of relief. I understood that to mean she was appreciative of my efforts. I could sense a real sense of relief.
Upon the conversation however, certain additional details came to light. First, she indicated that her father seem to have same challenge as she has. That her father will forget and wouldn't know how to articulate his thoughts especially on very important subjects. He forgets his thoughts when it is needed most.
Secondly, I was able to figure out another thing. My wife is very forgetful such that just when you finish a sentence you are speaking to her, she'd ask you a question that suggests that she didn't hear or paid attention to you. This is a pattern I've observed ever since I got close to her and I sometimes wrongly concluded that she just didn't care enough to at least give me her ears when I needed her most. During our conversation, I enquired when she realised that she was becoming forgetful. She indicated that her former boyfriend drew her attention to it some five or six years back. They made fun of it suggesting that they were getting old.
Sometime afterwards, she got knocked down by a cab and for over a year since the accident, she lived in panic of getting knocked down again. A doctor suggested that she see a psychiatrist but her mum disuaded her due to the stigma that goes with it in our part of the world. After about a year, she seemed to have overcome the fear.
However, since we married, she has on several cases woken up in panic and talk in her sleep. Sometimes what she says in her sleep will be intelligible. Other times it isn't. Worst of all, she wouldn't remember a thing the following day.
Our sex life has not been great as my wife seem to be on low desire most of the time and never orgasms (except I masturbate her). Touching her body parts in areas virtually all erogenous zones(including thigh, neck, ears) felt uncomfortable for her and she'd shove me off as a result. The boobs which she felt comfortable with too does not give her any sensual feeling. Things have been pretty bad.
However, my readings yesterday on ADHD links all these signs with the condition, and has thus helped to explain almost all puzzles that I've been encountering with her.
Therefore, there seem to be a whole lot going on in my dearest brain that I should be concerned about. Thus, upon hearing everything, I suggested we seek medical help which she agreed to. We have booked appointment with one general practitioner we know to enquire which specialist we may need to see and pick it from there on.
I will keep y'all posted on what happens. Thank y'all once again.
tl;dr: my wife seems to be suffering from several psychological or neurological conditions. We have booked appointment with a GP as a starting point.
