No. Procrastination is a normal behaviour almost everyone experiences. Chronic, distressing procrastination can be a symptom of ADHD, anxiety, or depression, but the behaviour itself isn't a disorder. If your procrastination is causing significant life impairment, talk to a licensed therapist or your GP about underlying causes.

Procrastination isn't laziness, it's six different psychological patterns that produce the same surface behaviour. Linda Sapadin's 1996 framework ('It's About Time! The 6 Styles of Procrastination'), widely cited in productivity and CBT literature, identified six distinct procrastinator types: the Perfectionist (fears 'good enough' won't be enough), the Worrier (anxiety paralyses before the work begins), the Dreamer (lives in vision, not execution), the Defier (autonomy-protection against being told what to do), the Crisis-Maker (adrenaline-engineered deadline panic), and the Over-Doer (yes-driven to too many things).
The Procrastinator Type Test maps your dominant procrastination pattern to one of these six. Ten scenarios, task start delay, deadline approach, multiple tasks, workspace state, surface which type you reach for first when procrastination kicks in. Knowing your type matters because generic advice ('just start') fails for everyone, each type needs different counter-strategies.
This is entertainment-style self-discovery, NOT therapy. Procrastination causing significant distress can be a symptom of ADHD, anxiety, or depression, for chronic procrastination causing real life impairment, see a CBT-trained therapist or your GP. The frame here is validation + insight: your procrastination makes sense once you see the type.
